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.

அதிகாரம் 16
Adhikaram 16
பொறையுடைமை
FORBEARANCE
151. அகழ்வாரைத் தாங்கும் நிலம்போலத் தம்மை
இகழ்வாரைப் பொறுத்தல் தலை.
agazhvaarai thaangum nilampola thammai
igazhvaarai poruthal thalai.
Just as Mother Earth is patient with those who dig her (i.e.,the land).we should also be patient with those people who taunt us..
152. பொறுத்தல் இறப்பினை என்றும்; அதனை
மறத்தல் அதனினும் நன்று.
poruthal irappinai yenrum; adhanai
marathal adhaninum nanru.
Forgive always the injuries inflicted upon us, but to forget them is even better..
153. இன்மையுள் இன்மை விருந்தொரால்; வன்மையுள்
வன்மை மடவார்ப் பொறை.
inmaiyul inmai virunthoraal; vanmaiyul
vanmai madavaar porai.
Refusal of hospitality is worse than the poverty itself , likewise forbearance of the dull-headed fools is the greatest strength. (which means absence of forbearance is equal to absolute poverty)
154. நிறையுடைமை நீங்காமை வேண்டின் பொறையுடைமை
போற்றி ஒழுகப் படும்.
niraiyudaimai neengaamai vendin poraiyudaimai
pottri ozhuga padum.
If you want to remain great always, cultivate with patience the habit of forgiving other's misgivings.
155. ஒறுத்தாரை ஒன்றாக வையாரே; வைப்பர்
பொறுத்தாரைப் பொன்போல் பொதிந்து.
oruthaarai onraaga vaiyaarae; vaippar
poruthaarai ponnpol podhindhu.
The wise, ignore those who retaliate an injury, but value the actions ( as gold) of those who forgive their enemies.
