Tirukkural-On Virtue-Freedom From Envy-Kural 166
Unpadhooum inrik kedum
The
man,
whose
envy
puts
him
in
the
way
of
other"s
charity,
Will
go
to
ruin
without
even
food
and
clothes.
If one is not able or willing to be generous oneself. One should at least not be envious and oppose generosity in others. Such a man will be despised by all, as a dog in the manger. The curse spelt out here is very strong bringing to the fore the magnitude of the sin-that it is not the offender alone who sill suffer but his kin too.
'Kambaramayanam' has two verses which bring out these ideas forcibly.

In the last two lines we may note that the Kural words themselves have been used most effectively.
