Kural Number: 0531 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 054 - பொச்சாவாமை; குறள் எண்: 0531}

{Division: 2 - Wealth; Section: 05 - Politics; Chapter: 054 - Being Without Oblivion; Kural Number: 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.
