Kural Number: 0788 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 10 - நட்பியல்; அதிகாரம்: 079 - நட்பு; குறள் எண்: 0788}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 10 - Nature of Friendship; Chapter: 079 - Friendship; Kural Number: 0788}

உடுக்கை இழந்தவன் கைபோல ஆங்கே
இடுக்கண் களைவதாம் நட்பு

As hand of someone whose dress slips, that
which solves hardship is friendship

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: When someone's dress is slipping off body, hand act spontaneously! Similarly, when hardship happens; that which attempt solving immediately is called Friendship!

(Likewise…)

When someone's eye is approaching the danger, eyelid act instinctively! Likewise, when diligence reduces, those who cheer up without delay are called Parents!
