Notices

This blog is exclusively reserved for posting Thirukural - both in Tamil & English. It will also include an explanation of the Kurals in English for the benefit of all IL'ites visiting this space.

This is a collective work by a few IL'ites to share the knowledge of Thirukural amongst the IndusLadies Community.

We used to post '5 Kurals a day' earlier. In order to give more time for the readers to read it, absorb it and enrich this space with their comments, we have changed the frequency to a weekly blog posting of '10 Kurals a week'.

Hope you will all enjoy the Kurals. Do not forget to leave your comments on our effort.

146. பகைபாவம் அச்சம் பழியென நான்கும்
இகவாவாம் இல்லிறப்பான் கண்

Pagai paavam acham pazhiyena naangum

one who desires the wife of another.

One can be sure of impending ruin if his heart
