Kural 1063
இரவச்சம்
The Dread of Mendicancy
இன்மை இடும்பை இரந்துதீர் வாமென்னும்
வன்மையின் வன்பாட்ட தில்.
Inmai Itumpai Irandhudheer Vaamennum / Vanmaiyin Vanpaatta Thil
English
Nothing is hard like hard saying \"We end poverty by begging\"
— Nothing is harder than the hardness that will say,'The plague of penury by asking alms we'll drive away.'
There is no greater folly than the boldness with which one seeks to remedy the evils of poverty by begging (rather than by working)
