0781.  செயற்கரிய யாவுள நட்பின் அதுபோல்
           வினைக்கரிய யாவுள காப்பு

           What are rare things than doing friendship? Similarly,
           what are rare protections for actions?

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: What are available, which are rare to do other than friendship? 
           What protection-systems are available for the evil actions, which are on par to friendship?
(Likewise…)
           What are available, which are better to learn other than rational? What light-sources are 
           available for the ignorance-darkness, which are equivalent to rational?

0782.  நிறைநீர நீரவர் கேண்மை பிறைமதிப்
           பின்நீர பேதையார் நட்பு

           Friendship of wise resembles new moon;
           Friendship of fool resembles full moon

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Friendship of those who have rational, will continuously grow 
           like new moon! Friendship of those who have superstition, will continuously decay like full 
           moon!
(Likewise…)
           Conscience of those who care public-good, will be active like childhood! Conscience of those 
           who care selfishness, will be lazy like senility-stage!

0783.  நவில்தொறும் நூல்நயம் போலும் பயில்தொறும்
           பண்புடை யாளர் தொடர்பு

           As book cheers on each reading, contact of
           quality people do on each socializing

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Books will give happiness on each reading! Similarly, the 
           contact of quality friends; will give happiness on each socialize!
(Likewise…)
           Discourse will give understanding on each listening! Similarly, the guidance of graceful 
           Guru; will develop understanding on each chance!

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!

0785.  புணர்ச்சி பழகுதல் வேண்டா உணர்ச்சிதான்
           நட்பாங் கிழமை தரும்

           Physical socialization isn’t needed; only the
           emotion give strength to friendship

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: To develop friendship, it is not necessary to be together and 
           closely socialize! Only the consensus thought will establish the strength of friendship!
(Likewise…)
           To conduct democracy, it is not necessary to be opposite and develop enmity! Only an 
           unified functionality will secure the regime of people!

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!

0787.  
அழிவின் அவைநீக்கி ஆறுய்த்து அழிவின்கண்
           அல்லல் உழப்பதாம் நட்பு

           Friendship is that eliminate and rectify the
           ruin-factors, and share distress in ruin

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Friendship is that which eliminate the factors of ruin, practice 
           the ethical acts, and share the hardship when ruin happens!
(Likewise…)
           Parents are those who weed the factors of failure, sow the success-seeds, and support by 
           giving the shoulder when failure happens!

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!

0789.  நட்பிற்கு வீற்றிருக்கை யாதெனில் கொட்பின்றி
           ஒல்லும்வாய் ஊன்று நிலை

           Throne of friendship is to support by
           all possible ways without change

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Throne of friendship is the stance to support the stumbling 
           friends, in all possible ways, without change at any stage!
(Likewise…)
           Crown of rulers is the greatness to lead the bottommost people, in all possible ways, without 
           corruption in any pattern!

0790.  இனையர் இவர்நமக்கு இன்னம்யாம் என்று
           புனையினும் புல்லென்னும் நட்பு

           Boasting like “They are thus to us! We are thus!”,
           will demean the friendship

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Even if excessively boasted like “They are like this to us! We 
           are like this to them!”, quality of friendship will be ruined!
(Likewise…)
           Even if falsely campaigned like “Leader is soul to us! We are soul to leader!”, nature of 
           public-life will be perished!
