Kural 1006
நன்றியில் செல்வம்
Wealth without Benefaction
ஏதம் பெருஞ்செல்வம் தான்துவ்வான் தக்கார்க்கொன்று
ஈதல் இயல்பிலா தான்.
Edham Perunjelvam Thaandhuvvaan Thakkaarkkondru / Eedhal Iyalpilaa Thaan
English
Great wealth unused for oneself nor To worthy men is but a slur
— Their ample wealth is misery to men of churlish heart,Who nought themselves enjoy, and nought to worthy men impart
He who enjoys not (his riches) nor relieves the wants of the worthy is a disease to his wealth
