Thirukkural-On Wealth-Avoidance Of Faults-Kural-441
Thiranarindhu thaerndhu kolal
The
king
should
carefully
and
selectively
opt
for
the
friendship
Of
ethically
oriented
and
wise
counselors.
A
good
king
will
choose
as
his
friends
and
advisers
ethically
oriented
wise
men
of
ripe
scholarship,
who
have
'grown
old
in
righteousness" for
says
the
Bible;
'Wisdom
flows
from
the
mouth
of
the
Righteous"
(Proverbs:
10,31)
all great kings" courts had a galaxy of such wise men in the past.
Only
the
Ruler
will
base
his
government
on
righteous
principles
and
shine
steadfast
like
the
polestar
among
the
other
stars,
as
envisaged
by
King
Fu
Tse.
(Confucius).
Valluvar has prescribed for the king"s choice of friendship. 'Aranarintu mutta arivudaiyaar'
The wise men of learning fit to be the king"s friends are described as ethically oriented aranarindhu and mature 'mootha' men of wisdom.
The Poet in many places distinguishes between the two words 'aram' (the state of Dharma or of absolute good) and 'aran' (The practice of Ethics).
In Arathupal Valluvar emphasises (aram) as a concept, but in Porutpal, the practice of it as (aran) is what is projected.
Among the commentators, Kalingar alone draws particular attention to the discerning of wise counselors, who have proven knowledge of dharma and adequate maturity.
In this context, it is relevant to recall Valluvar"s own later Kural dealing with Delegation, which effectively explains this process of choosing capable wise men, who can be trusted.
