Thirukkural 1055

Kural 1055

கரப்பிலார் வையகத்து உண்மையால் கண்ணின்று
இரப்பவர் மேற்கொள் வது.

Karappilaar Vaiyakaththu Unmaiyaal Kannindru
Irappavar Merkol Vadhu

Because on earth the men exist, who never say them nay, Men bear to stand before their eyes for help to pray

Meaning

As there are in the world those that give without refusing, there are (also) those that prefer to beg by simply standing before them.

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
