Kural Number: 0291 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 1 - அறத்துப்பால்; இயல்: 03 - துறவறவியல்; அதிகாரம்: 030 - வாய்மை; குறள் எண்: 0291}

{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 03 - Abdication Ethics; Chapter: 030 - Truthfulness; Kural Number: 0291}

வாய்மை எனப்படுவது யாதெனின் யாதொன்றும்
தீமை இலாத சொலல்

What is called truth is, speaking
no word with evil

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: What is called the truth is to speak in a such a way that not a single word effects the evil. 

(Likewise...)

What is called the humane is to think in such a way that not a single thought seeds the treachery.
