CHAPTER 45 - ELDERS'COMPANY
***
45/04. தம்மிற் பெரியார் தமரா ஒழுகுதல்
வன்மையுள் எல்லாம் தலை.
45/04. Thammirr periyaar thamaraa ozhugudhal
Vanmaiull ellaam thalai.
45/04. Among all the strength, to keep close company
With an elderly man is the best one.
***
Jaishankar: One becomes strong in the company of elderly people.
Lakshman: Sure, strong he becomes
When he regularly moves
In the company of elders,
Who give him best advices.
The company of wise people
Keeps one also simple
As well as very studious
In his literary activities.
In his self-defense
He can rise all points
And more wise he becomes
From his side of all debates.
***
45/05. சூழ்வார்கண் ணாக ஒழுகலான் மன்னவன்
சூழ்வாரைச் சூழ்ந்து கொளல்.
45/05. Soozhvaarkann nnaaga ozhugalaan mannavan
Soozhvaaraich soondhu kollal.
45/05. As a King is in the company of his ministers to rule his kingdom,
He should select them after thorough scrutiny.
***
Jaishankar: A King has to select good ministers
Who can give proper advices.
Lakshman: A King's council of ministers
Should give him proper advices
In all matters of importance
To keep him above blames.
So, in the selection of ministers,
The King should not be careless
But take proper persons
As his good advisers.
Now there are no kings
But there are ministers,
Who play their vital roles
In the day to day affairs.
***
45/06. தக்கார் இனத்தனாய்த் தான்ஒழுக வல்லானைச்
செற்றார் செயக்கிடந்தது இல்.
45/06. Thakkaar inaththanaaith thaanozhuga vallaanaich
Chetrraar seyakkidandhadhu il.
45/06. No enemy can do any harm to a person
Who is in the company of competent wise men.
***
Jaishankar: When one is in the group of competent persons
No one can give him any trouble.
Lakshman: A single person can be harmed,
But his enemy will be afraid,
If he's in the company of elders,
Who always support his causes.
One must be wise in the selection
Of competent a companion
To advise him on any occasion
When he needs the other's opinion.
Having selected a wise person
He must lifelong remain
With that friendly person
As his close companion.
