சீரிடம் காணின் எறிதற்குப் பட்டடை நேரா நிரந்தவர் நட்பு.

Sīridam kāṇin eṛidarkkup paṭṭadai / Nērā nirandavar nadpu.

When you find a friend whose worth is equal, cherish that friendship; friendships with the unequal are a burden cast aside.

Choose companions whose virtue matches your own—not to exclude the weak, but because friendships unbalanced by reciprocal character become anchors that drag you from your path.
