Kural Number: 0535 (Vizhiyappan's Translation)

{பால்: 2 - பொருட்பால்; இயல்: 05 - அரசியல்; அதிகாரம்: 054 - பொச்சாவாமை; குறள் எண்: 0535}

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