கேளிழுக்கம் கேளாக் கெழுதகைமை வல்லார்க்கு
நாளிழுக்கம் நட்டார் செயின்

For mighty old friends, who don't listen friends'
defect, day that friends err is useful

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: For those who realize the acquaintance, and do not care when others point the defects of friends; the day on which friends do mistake, is also an useful day!

(Likewise…)

For parents who know the life, and do not exaggerate when others criticize the errors of children; the day on which children do error, is also a complete day!
