0501.  அறம்பொருள் இன்பம் உயிரச்சம் நான்கின்
           திறந்தெரிந்து தேறப் படும்

           "Ethics/Possession/Pleasure/Fear-of-life" - Potential
           of these four be known and evaluated

            Vizhiyappan's Commentary: "Ethics/Possession/Pleasure and Fear-of-life" - Someone should 
            be evaluated only after knowing the potential of these four factors.

(Likewise…)

           "Basic/Potentiality/Need and Transcience" - A relationship should be accompanied only after 
           realizing the importance of these four factors.

0502.  குடிப்பிறந்து குற்றத்தின் நீங்கி வடுப்பரியும்
           நாணுடையான் சுட்டே தெளிவு

           Confide those born in ethical family, without guilt,
           and shy by fearing blame

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who are born in a family that realized the ethics/have 
           eliminated the guilts/and shy by fearing the deeds those give blame - should be identified and 
           confided.

(Likewise…)

           Those who have unified in the policy that realized the equality/have opposed the 
           corruption/and fight by avoiding the coalition that will destroy the ethics - should be realized 
           and admired.

0503.  அரியகற்று ஆசற்றார் கண்ணும் தெரியுங்கால்
           இன்மை அரிதே வெளிறு

           Even those who learnt the rare and are faultless,
           can rarely be without ignorance

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If we know and have clarity about the scholars, who have learnt 
           the rare and be faultless; it will be understood that even they can rarely be without ignorance.

(Likewise…)

           If we closely socialize with the virtuous people, who have practiced the good habits and have 
           no evil; it will be known that it is impossible even for them to be without cheap-pleasure.

0504.  குணம்நாடிக் குற்றமும் நாடி அவற்றுள்
           மிகைநாடி மிக்க கொளல்

           Examine both the character and offense,
           and take the surplus among them

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Both the good character and evil-deeds of someone should be 
           deeply examined, and have clarity by knowing as which is excess among them.

(Likewise…)

           Both the public-service and selfishness of a regime should be neutrally analyzed, and should 
           rational to know which is higher among them.

0505.  பெருமைக்கும் ஏனைச் சிறுமைக்கும் தத்தம்
           கருமமே கட்டளைக் கல்

           Deed is the touchstone for their
           greatness and meanness

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: It should be known that the deeds of someone are the basic for 
           the greatness and meanness character of them, before having the clarity.

(Likewise…)

           It should be realized that the discipline of the individual is the factor for the superior and 
           inferior discipline of the society, before criticizing.

0506.  அற்றாரைத் தேறுதல் ஓம்புக மற்றவர்
           பற்றிலர் நாணார் பழி

           Don't confide the empty people since they
           are uncommitted and don't shy blame

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who do not have the ethical-oriented fear, do not shy for 
           any blame since they do not have any bonding! Hence, do not have clarity by confiding them.

(Likewise…)

           Those who do not know the strength of truth, do not hesitate for anything since they do not 
           have any assurance! So, it is fault to continue the relationship with them.

0507.  காதன்மை கந்தா அறிவறியார்த் தேறுதல்
           பேதைமை எல்லாந் தரும்

           Confiding those don't realize the knowledge, 
           owing affection, gives all ignorance

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Confiding those who do not know the speciality of rational, 
           owing the affection on them; will give all kinds of ignorance.

(Likewise…)

           Following those who do not realize the basic of human, because of the attraction on them; 
           will yield all the evils.

0508.  தேரான் பிறனைத் தெளிந்தான் வழிமுறை
           தீரா இடும்பை தரும்

           Confiding others without examining, will give
           unsolvable hardship to followers

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Followers of those who confide others by believing what many 
           say, without examination, will also experience unsolvable hardships.

(Likewise…)

           Progeny of those who connect into a relationship by seeing the external factors, without 
           thinking, will also have irreparable indiscipline.

0509.  தேறற்க யாரையும் தேராது தேர்ந்தபின்
           தேறுக தேறும் பொருள்

           Don't clarify anyone without analysis; if done,
           clarify those need to be clarified

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Do not clarify anyone who is unknown, without analysis! If 
           happened so, the things which are needed for clarification should be analyzed, and get 
           clarified!

(Likewise…)

           Do not accept a relationship which is improper, without realization! If happened so, the 
           merits which are required for acceptance should be analyzed, and examine the accepted! 

0510.  தேரான் தெளிவும் தெளிந்தான்கண் ஐயுறவும்
           தீரா இடும்பை தரும்

           Confiding without analysis/suspecting after confiding;
           both yield irresolvable hardship

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Confiding someone without analyzing and/or Suspecting 
           someone who is confided - both will yield irresolvable hardship.

(Likewise…)

           Connecting into a relationship without thinking and/or Deeply thinking about the connected 
           relationship - both will create endless complication.
