CHAPTER 49 - KNOWING THE TIME
***
49/01. பகல்வெல்லும் கூகையைக் காக்கை; இகல்வெல்லும்
வேந்தர்க்கு வேண்டும் பொழுது.
49/01. Pagalvellum koogaiyaik kaakkai; igalvellum
Vendharkku vendum pozhudhu.
49/01. An owl which can be won by night can be defeated by a crow during day time.
A King must choose proper time to defeat the enemy.
***
Akhila: One should choose proper time to do any job.
Uma: Yes, for every action
That should be done
An auspicious time is there
That's fixed by our elders.
Time waits for no one.
Better do any action
At the appropriate time,
Without wasting time.
One should be time-conscious
In doing all important actions,
Or else, he'll miss the chance
Of achieving his objects.
***
49/02. பருவத்தோடு ஒட்ட ஒழுகல் திருவினைத்
தீராமை ஆர்க்கும் கயிறு.
49/02. Paruvathodu otta ozhugal thiruvinaith
Theeraamai aarkkum kayirru.
49/02. If King does every action in time, then it will act as a rope
To make the unstable wealth as stable one.
***
Akhila: Time has been fixed for everything.
This should be followed by a King.
Uma: "Yatha Raja Thatha Praja, "
As the King is so are the people.
If a King follows time and rule
People also follow his example.
If a King is unsystematic,
It'll become problematic,
As no correct time schedule
Will be followed by his people.
The time Mother Earth keeps
So we have the days and nights
While the sun rises and sets
And by its clock our time goes.
***
49/03. அருவினை என்ப உளவோ? கருவியான்
காலம் அறிந்து செயின்.
49/03. Aruvinai enba ullavo? Karuviyaan
Kaalam arrindhu seyin.
49/03. Is there any action that cannot be done by one
Who maintains proper tools to keep up the time?
***
Akhila: When one keeps up time, he can do wonders.
Uma: Time slips through fingers,
And one should be conscious
Of this time, at every stage,
Running without our knowledge.
If one follows time clock,
He can do any type of work
Easily with proper tools;
There's no doubt in this.
The cost of a work is
On time bound basis,
And if time fixed increases
The original cost also increases.
