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.

316. இன்னா எனத்தான் உணர்ந்தவை துன்னாமை
வேண்டும் பிறன்கண் செயல்.
Innaa yenaththaan unarndhavai thunnaamai
vendum pirankan seyal.
If a man has felt the pain for himself, let him take care and inflict it not on others.
317. எனைத்தானும் எஞ்ஞான்றும் யார்க்கும் மனத்தானாம்
மாணாசெய் யாமை தலை.
Yenaithaanum yegngnanrum yaarkkum manaththaanam
maanaasei yaamai thalai.
It is best to refrain from hurting anybody, unknowingly, anywhere, anytime and in any degree.
318. தன்னுயிர்க்(கு) இன்னாமை தானறிவான் என்கொலோ
மன்னுயிர்க்(கு) இன்னா செயல்?.
Thanuyirkku innaamai thaanarivaan yenkolo
mannuyirkku innaa seyal?
Why does a man inflict sufferings on others/ creatures, when by experience, he knows it will cause sufferings to other creatures/others?
319. பிறர்க்கின்னா முற்பகல் செய்யின் தமக்கின்னா
பிற்பகல் தாமே வரும்.
Pirarkkinnaa murpagal seiyin thamakkinna
pirpagal thamae varum.
If a man hurts another in the morning, the same evil will come to him in the afternoon, of its own accord.
320. நோயெல்லாம் நோய்செய்தார் மேலவாம்; நோய்செய்யார்
நோயின்மை வேண்டு பவர்.
Noiyellam noiseidhaar melavaam; noiseiyyaar
noiinmai vendu bhavar.
Sorrow will come to those who cause pain to others...so if one wants to be free from sorrows, give no pain to others...
