Kural Number: 0786 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 10 - நட்பியல்; அதிகாரம்: 079 - நட்புகுறள் எண்: 0786}
{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 10 - Nature of Friendship; Chapter: 079 - Friendship; Kural Number: 0786}

முகம்நக நட்பது நட்புஅன்று நெஞ்சத்து
அகம்நக நட்பது நட்பு

Befriend with cheering face, isn’t friendship!
Befriend with cheering heart, is friendship!

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Being friendly, with cheer just on face, is not friendship! Being friendly, with cheer even at inner heart, is the friendship!
(Likewise…)
Those who have public-good just on speech, are not leaders! Those who have public-good even in action, are the leaders!
