0531.  இறந்த வெகுளியின் தீதே சிறந்த
           உவகை மகிழ்ச்சியிற் சோர்வு

           Oblivion resulting from extreme happiness is 
           more evil than exorbitant anger

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The oblivion that results from the tiredness of cheering during 
           happy moment, is much more evil than the exorbitant anger.

(Likewise…)

           The degradation that results from the improper deeds of surplus freedom, is much more 
           dangerous than the continuous slavery.

0532.  பொச்சாப்புக் கொல்லும் புகழை அறிவினை
           நிச்ச நிரப்புக்கொன் றாங்கு

           As perpetual poverty kills the wisdom,
           oblivion will kill the glory

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: As the perpetual poverty shrink and destroy the wisdom, the 
           defect called oblivion, will destroy the glory.

(Likewise…)

           As the irresolvable confusion decimate and dissipate the thought, the arrogance called me, 
           will decimate the humane.

0533.  பொச்சாப்பார்க்கு இல்லை புகழ்மை அதுஉலகத்து
           எப்பால்நூ லோர்க்கும் துணிவு

           No fame for who have oblivion; this applies
           to whomsoever learnt whatsoever

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: It is impossible for those who have the defect called oblivion, to 
           reach the fame! This is a common notion to those who learnt whatever kind of education on 
           the world.

(Likewise…)

           It is rare for those who have the arrogance called me, to obtain the birth-benefit! This is a 
           common rule to those who have whatever type of power on the earth.

0534.  அச்சம் உடையார்க்கு அரணில்லை ஆங்கில்லை
           பொச்சாப்பு உடையார்க்கு நன்கு

           No bulwark for who have fear; similarly,
           no benefit for who have oblivion

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Nothing will give protection to those who have fear! Similarly, 
           nothing will give benefit to those who have oblivion.

(Likewise…)

           No relationship will give hope to those who have doubt! Comparably, nothing will give 
           happiness to those who have jealous.

0535.  முன்உறக் காவாது இழுக்கியான் தன்பிழை
           பின்ஊறு இரங்கி விடும்

           Who fail to prepare in advance, will regret
           their error, after hardships

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Those who fail to plan in advance for the forthcoming 
           hardships, owing oblivion; will recall and regret their oblivion after facing the hardships.

(Likewise…)

           Those who deny to prepare at young for the diseases at aging, owing sloth; will remember 
           and regret their sloth after reaching the senility.

0536.  இழுக்காமை யார்மாட்டும் என்றும் வழுக்காமை
           வாயின் அதுஒப்பது இல்

           Nothing peers the happening of not swerving
           with anyone/any-day, without fail

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If the stance of not having oblivion with anyone/any-day, 
           happens without fail; there is nothing else that can be equally beneficial.

(Likewise…)

           If the flawless social-concern be in any-creation/anyway, on continuous basis; there is 
           nothing else that can give comparable birth-benefit.

0537.  அரியஎன்று ஆகாத இல்லைபொச் சாவாக்
           கருவியால் போற்றிச் செயின்

           If it's determined to do without oblivion,
           nothing is rare to be done

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If the deeds are done with a zealous mind to eliminate the 
           oblivion, there is no deed that is rare and impossible to be done.

(Likewise…)

           If the struggles are conducted with a firm support that can destroy the retreat, there is no issue 
           that is challenging and be irresolvable.

0538.  புகழ்ந்தவை போற்றிச் செயல்வேண்டும் செய்யாது
           இகழ்ந்தார்க்கு எழுமையும் இல்

           Do admire the renowned things; no benefit
           for who forget, in seven births

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The renowned things like "Thirukkural" should be admired and 
           followed; there is no benefit in all seven births, for those who forget to do so.

(Likewise…)

           The splendid things like "Infant" should be felt and experienced; there is no happiness in all 
           seven tunes, for those who fail to do so.

0539.  இகழ்ச்சியின் கெட்டாரை உள்ளுக தாம்தம்
           மகிழ்ச்சியின் மைந்துறும் போழ்து

           When feeling strengthened on our exultation, should 
           remember those who spoilt of oblivion

           Vizhiyappan's Commentary: When the mental-strength is obtained following our huge-
           happiness, one should remember those who were spoilt because of oblivion.

(Likewise…)

           When the economy is developed following our big-business, one should recall those who lost 
           their life because of arrogance. 

0540.  உள்ளியது எய்தல் எளிதுமன் மற்றுந்தான்
           உள்ளியது உள்ளப் பெறின்

           target is continuously remembered

           our target and continuing assured.

(Likewise…)

           It is very easy to obtain the birth-benefit, if we do not contempt our birth and live with 
           morality.
