Thirukkural-On Wealth-On Ignorance-Kural-408
Kallaar kan pattathiru.
Poverty
in
men
of
learning
is
surely
better,
But
far
worse
are
riches
with
the
ignorant.
My
translation
is
based
to
some
extent
on
V
V
S
Iyer"s.
It
is
part
of
the
tragedy
of
life
that
the
learned
continue
to
be
poor,
while
the
ignorant
accumulate
riches
far
beyond
their
deserts.
Valluvar has categorically stated in this Kural that riches in the hands of the ignorant will spoil them and spell their own ruin, and what is worse, also do harm to others around them in the environment. But the learned men, even in the midst of their undeserved adversity, will keep to their values and will only go all out to do what good they can do to others in their neighbourhood.
Rajaji would have it that the poverty of the learned and the wealth of the ignorant are both misfortunes. But the former cannot cause real harm to the spirit of the learned, while the latter poses a definite hazard to the rest of the world too.
Two
meaningful
passages
from
naladiar
and
Pazhamozhi
are
relevant
here.
“Yeri

(Naaladiyaar,
275)
“Siriyavar

(Pazhamozhi,
70)
