Kural Number: 0574 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 058 - கண்ணோட்டம்; குறள் எண்: 0574}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 058 - Clemency; Kural Number: 0574}

உளபோல் முகத்துஎவன் செய்யும் அளவினால்
கண்ணோட்டம் இல்லாத கண்

What's use of the eye without adequate
clemency, than appearing on face?

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Rather than just appearing on face; what is the benefit of the eyes those do not show the clemency called humane, even at basic level?

(Likewise…)

Rather than just being in head; what is the benefit of the brain that do not induce the morality called truth, even at the dangerous condition?
