Kural 966

புகழ்இன்றால் புத்தேள்நாட்டு உய்யாதால் என்மற்று
இகழ்வார்பின் சென்று நிலை.

Pukazhindraal Puththelnaattu Uyyaadhaal Enmatru
Ikazhvaarpin Sendru Nilai

It yields no praise, nor to the land of Gods throws wide the gate:Why follow men who scorn, and at their bidding wait

The English verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
