{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 10 - நட்பியல்; அதிகாரம்: 079 - நட்பு; குறள் எண்: 0784}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 10 - Nature of Friendship; Chapter: 079 - Friendship; Kural Number: 0784}

நகுதற் பொருட்டன்று நட்டல் மிகுதிக்கண்
மேற்சென்று இடித்தற் பொருட்டு

Friendship not meant for pleasure; meant for
promptly criticise sternly on surplus

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The relationship called friendship, is not just to enjoy! Also to promptly criticise sternly, when friends excessively violate the ethic!

(Likewise…)

The paper called money, is not just for us! Also to unprofitably give and help, when our siblings are in economic trouble!
