{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 051 - Clarity by Knowing; Kural Number: 0505}

பெருமைக்கும் ஏனைச் சிறுமைக்கும் தத்தம்
கருமமே கட்டளைக் கல்

Deed is the touchstone for their
greatness and meanness

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: It should be known that the deeds of someone are the basic for the greatness and meanness character of them, before having the clarity.

(Likewise…)

It should be realized that the discipline of the individual is the factor for the superior and inferior discipline of the society, before criticizing.
