Kural 315

 குறள் 315

அறிவினான் ஆகுவ துண்டோ பிறிதின்நோய்
தந்நோய்போல் போற்றாக் கடை.

Stanza 315

What good is that sense which does not feel and prevent
All creatures’ woes as its own?

Meaning:

What benefit has he derived from his knowledge, which does not endeavor to keep off pain from another as much as from himself?
