Kural Number: 0486 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 049 - காலமறிதல்; குறள் எண்: 0486}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 049 - Knowing the Timing; Kural Number: 0486}

ஊக்க முடையான் ஒடுக்கம் பொருதகர்
தாக்கற்குப் பேருந் தகைத்து

Standby of efficient man is alike the
ram backstepping to attack

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The standby of those who have willpower; is alike the ram that is getting ready for fighting, is taking a back-step to attack strongly.

(Likewise…)

The patience of those who are practicing the politics; is alike the tiger that is getting ready for hunting, is hiding into a bush to jump accurately.
