Thirukkural-On Virtue-Avoidance of Fraud-Kural-286
Avoidance Of Fraud
oi-Staff

Kanriya kaatha lavar.
Those
who
aim
at
fraudulent
gain
all
the
time,
Can
never
abide
by
the
rule
of
law
and
code
of
righteousness.
The
word
'alavu" is
interpreted
by
Manakudavar
more
directly
and
appropriately
than
by
Parimelalagar.
The
former
takes
it,
to
mean
'code
of
righteousness,"
while
the
latter
believes
it
to
mean
'a
knowledge
of
various
aspects
of
the
metaphysics
of
the
spirit".
I
have
followed
Manakudavar.
Hence
the
interpretation
that
those
who
are
all
the
time
thinking
of
fraudulent
gain
will
never
be
able
to
abide
by
the
code
of
righteousness,
which
is
a
higher
concept
of
rule
of
law,
regulating
one"s
conduct
towards
a
higher
state
of
ultimate
virtue.
It
implies
also
strict
adherence
to
the
ordinary
rule
of
law
of
the
country
side
by
side.
