Irandha poruttal kedum selvam nirkume Thirandha vazhi sellum aatral.

Wealth gained through wrong means will perish; the strength to walk the open (righteous) path will endure.

தவறான வழியில் கிடைத்த செல்வம் போகும்; நேரான வழியில் செல்லும் ஆற்றல் நிலைக்கும்.

Wrongly acquired wealth (through covetousness) is transient; the strength to walk the honest path is permanent. This is practical wisdom: covetous wealth collapses; righteous capacity endures. Invest in the capacity to earn rightly, not in what wrongly gotten wealth provides.
