Kural 568

இனத்தாற்றி எண்ணாத வேந்தன் சினத்தாற்றிச்
சீறிற் சிறுகும் திரு.

Inaththaatri Ennaadha Vendhan Sinaththaatrich
Cheerir Sirukum Thiru

Who leaves the work to those around, and thinks of it no more; If he in wrathful mood reprove, his prosperous days are o'er

Meaning

The prosperity of that king will waste away, who without reflecting (on his affairs himself), commits them to his ministers, and (when a failure occurs) gives way to anger, and rages against 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).
