Kural Number: 0479 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 048 - வலியறிதல்; குறள் எண்: 0479}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 048 - Aware of Strength; Kural Number: 0479}

அளவறிந்து வாழாதான் வாழ்க்கை உளபோல
இல்லாகித் தோன்றாக் கெடும்

Life of who don't live by knowing quantity,
will appear alive but ruin

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The life of those who do not live by knowing the quantity of income; will create an illusion like it is wealthy, but will disappear and ruined.

(Likewise…)

The status of those who do not interact by respecting the splendid of relationships; will give a hope like it has authority, but will lose the self and end.
