Today · Thirukkural · verse 755 · Wealth

அருளொடும் அன்பொடும் வாராப் பொருளாக்கம் புல்லார் புரள விடல்.

arulodum anpodum vaaraap porulakkam / pullaar puralvidal.

Wealth gained without compassion and love is mere dust; let the base wallow in it.

Money detached from virtue is not possession but poison—those who pursue it without restraint and kindness will find only hollowness, while we remain unmoved by their folly.
