Kural Number: 0100 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 02 - இல்லறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 010 - இனியவை கூறல்; குறள் எண்: 0100}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 010 - Speaking Pleasant Words; Kural Number: 0100}

இனிய உளவாக இன்னாத கூறல்
கனிஇருப்பக் காய்கவர்ந் தற்று

Speaking evil while good exits, is like
eating unripe while ripe exists

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Speaking evil while there are many words, which yield the goodness, is like eating unripe while there exists ripe ones.

(Likewise...)

Traveling in unethical path while there are many ethical paths, which advance the life, is like sighting the other women while the wife is together.
