மனத்து ளதுபோலக் காட்டி ஒருவற்கு
இனத்துள தாகும் அறிவு

Knowledge appear like reflecting one’s mind,
but becomes reflecting their group

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The knowledge of those who have unethical group, will appear like reflecting their mind, but eventually it will become to reflect their group.

(Likewise…)

The luxury of those who have unfaithful self, will demonstrate like showing their hard work, but will end up in showing their corruption.
