# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 70

CHAPTER 70
COMPORTING ONESELF BEFORE PRINCES
691. Whoever desireth to move with princes, let him be like unto the men that warm themselves at a fire : let him not approach too near nor stand too far away.
692. Not to itch for those things that the prince desireth : that is the secret of acquiring his lasting favour and thereby growing in affluence.
693. If thou desire not to fall into disgrace steer clear of all graver failings: for once suspicion is roused, it is impossible for any one to remove it.
694. Speak not in whispers in the presence of the great ones : nor smile to another's face when they are near.
695. Do not try to overhear any conversation nor to fish out that which is withheld from thee: and then only receive the secret when it is imparted to thee.
​696. Take into thy consideration the humour of the prince and the season that is, and then speak the words that will please him.
697. Speak those things before the prince that are pleasant to him; but things that are unprofitable, speak not ever even if he demandeth.
698. Trifle not with the prince because he is young or because he is thy kinsman or connexion : but walk with awe before the light that is within him.
699. Behold the men whose vision is unconfused and clear: they never do things that displease the prince, saying, we are favoured of him.
700. The men that rely on their intimacy with the prince and do unworthy deeds will perish.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 72

CHAPTER 72
JUDGING OF THE AUDIENCE
711. O ye that know how to weigh your words! study well your audience and suit your speech to it.
712. O ye that have the gift of eloquence ! ascertain the mood of your audience first and then speak after careful deliberation.
713. Behold the men that take upon themselves to address an assembly without studying its nature: they know not the art of speaking nor are they good for anything else.
714. Discuss wisdom in the congregation of the wise : but answer fools according to the measure of their folly.
715. Behold the self-control that denieth itself the lead in an assembly of ancients: it is a virtue that outshineth even other virtues.
​716. A failure before men of understanding is like falling off from the way of righteousness.
717. The learning of the scholar shineth forth in all its brilliance only in an assembly of accomplished critics.
718. Delivering an address of good counsel to men of understanding is like watering the roots of living plants.
719. O ye that desire to delight the wise by your discourses! beware of addressing even by mistake an audience of fools.
720. A discourse spoken before the unworthy is like unto ambrosia spilled on filthy ground.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 68

CHAPTER 68
THE CONDUCT OF AFFAIRS
671. The end of all deliberation is to arrive at a decision : and when a decision is come to, it is wrong to delay the execution thereof.
672. Do with deliberation those things that ought to be done in a leisurely way : but put not off even for a moment those things that require prompt action.
673. Go straight for the goal whenever circumstances permit: but when circumstances are against, follow along the path that offereth the least resistance.
674. Uncompleted work and enemies that are left unsubdued are like unextinguished sparks of fire : they will grow betimes and overwhelm the perfunctory man.
675. Five things should be carefully considered in the doing of all action, namely, the resources in band, the instrument, the nature of the action itself, the proper time and the proper place for its execution.
​676. Determine first the exertion necessary, the obstacles in the way, and the expected profit, and then undertake thy enterprise.
677. The way to succeed in any undertaking is to learn the secret thereof from the man who is an expert in it.
678. Men decoy one elephant by means of another : even so make one enterprise the means of achieving a second.
679. Placate enemies even more swiftly than thou rewardest friends.
680. The weak should not care to live in the midst of constant alarms: when an opportunity offereth itself they should submit to an alliance with the strong.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 69

CHAPTER 69
THE AMBASSADOR
681. A kind heart, high birth, and manners that captivate princes, these are the qualifications of the ambassador.
682. A loving nature, a wise understanding, and skill in speech, these three are indispensable to the envoy.
683. Behold the man who undertaketh to speak before princes words that shall profit his master : he shall be a scholar among scholars.
684. Let that man go on embassies who possesseth intelligence and learning and a commanding presence.
685. Conciseness of speech, sweetness of tongue and a careful eschewing of all disagreeable language, these are the means by which the ambassador shall work his master's profit.
​686. Learning, sang-froid, persuasive speech, and a just instinct for what is meet for each occasion, all these are necessary qualifications in the envoy.
687. He is the fittest ambassador who hath a just eye for time and place, who knoweth his duty, and who weigheth his words before uttering them.
688. The man that is sent on embassies shall be firm of mind, pure of heart, and engaging in his ways.
689. Behold the firm-minded man that will never let fall from his lips words that are weak and unbecoming: he is the fit man to deliver the messages of princes at foreign courts.
690. Even when threatened with death the perfect ambassador will not fail in his duty but will endeavour to secure his master's profit.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 71

CHAPTER 71
JUDGING BY LOOKS
701. Behold the man who divineth what is in the mind before the voice uttereth it: he is an ornament unto all the world.
702. Look upon that man as a God who divineth with certitude that which is in the heart.
703. Behold the men that can judge a man's intentions from his looks : take them into thy council at whatever cost.
704. The men that understand without words may have the same features with the men that do not so understand: but they form a class apart.
705. What is the place of the eve among the organs of sense, if it divineth not by a look that which is in the heart?
​706. Even as the crystal changeth and assumeth the colour of that which is near, even so doth the face alter and show that which overfloweth the heart.
707. What is there that is subtler than the face ? for whether the heart is angry or glad it is the face that expresseth it first.
708. If thou canst find a man that is able to read the inside of thy heart without words, it is enough that thou merely lookest towards him and thy wishes will be fulfilled.
709. If there are men who understand its moods and tricks, the eye alone will declare whether there is hatred in the heart or friendship.
710. The measuring rod of those that call themselves subtle is, when thou search for it, nought else but their eye.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 73

CHAPTER 73
SELF-CONFIDENCE BEFORE AN AUDIENCE
721. Behold the men that know how to weigh their words: they will also know how to order their discourse and will not fail before a wise audience.
722. Behold the man who can sustain his conclusions in the congregation of the learned: he will be called a scholar among scholars.
723. They are common, those that can brave death on the battle-field : but they are rare who can face an audience without trembling.
724. Place before the learned that which thou hast mastered : and that which thou knowest not, learn from them that excel therein.
725. Master thou the science of reasoning that thou mayest speak without fear in any assembly.
​726. What have they to do with swords, those who have no mettle in them? and what have they to do with books, those who are afraid to face the assembly of the wise?
727. Even as the sword in the hand of the eunuch on the battle-field is the learning of him who is afraid to face an audience.
728. Behold the men who cannot drive home their point before a learned assembly: even if they possess varied learning they are good for nothing.
729. Behold the men that possess learning but fear to face an assembly of learned men : they will be esteemed lower than even the ignorant.
730. Behold the men that are afraid before an assembly and are unable to expound what they have learned : though they breathe, they are no better than dead men.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 74

CHAPTER 74
THE COUNTRY
731. That is the great country which never faileth in its yield of harvests, and which is the abode of sages and of rich men that are worthy.
732. That is the great country which attracteth men to itself by the greatness of its wealth and which yieldeth abundantly for that it is free from pests.
733. Behold the great nation : even if burdens upon burdens press down upon it, it will support them bravely and pay its taxes in full withal.
734. That is the great country which is free from famines and plagues, and which is safe from the invasions of enemies.
735. That is the great nation which is not divided into warring sects, which is free from murderous anarchists, and which hath no traitors within its bosom to ruin it.
​736. Behold the land that hath known no devastation by its foes, and which, even should it suffer any, would not bate one whit in its yield: it will be called a jewel among the countries of the world.
737. The waters of the surface, the waters that flow underground, rain-water, well-situated mountains, and strong fortifications, these are indispensable to every country.
738. Wealth, richness of yield, happiness, immunity from diseases, and safety from invasions, these five are the ornaments of a kingdom.
739. That alone deserveth to be called country which produceth abundantly without the labour of the people : that which yieldeth only unto labour deserveth not that name.
740. Even if a country hath all these blessings it is worth nothing if it is not blessed in its ruler.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 75

CHAPTER 75
FORTRESSES
741. Fortresses are helpful to the weak who are thinking only of their defence : but they are also no less helpful to the strong and powerful.
742. Water-courses, deserts, mountains, and thick jungles, all these constitute various kinds of defensive barriers.
743. Height, thickness, strength, and impregnability, these are the four requisites that Science demandeth of fortresses.
744. That is the best fortress which is vulnerable in very few places but at the same time is spacious, and which is capable of breaking the assaults of those that attempt to take it.
745. Impregnability, facility of defence for the garrison, and abundance of provisions inside, these are the essential requisites of the fortress.
​746. That is the real fortress which is filled with stores of every kind and which is garrisoned by men that will make a brave defence.
747. That is the veritable fortress which cannot be reduced whether by a regular siege or by storm or even by mining.
748. That is the veritable fortress which enableth the garrison to defeat the besiegers even when they exert their utmost against it.
749. That is the veritable fortress which hath been rendered impregnable by works of various kinds, and which enableth the defenders to fell down their adversaries even at the outermost enceintes.
750. But however strong a fortress may be, it will avail nothing if the defenders show not vigour in action.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 67

CHAPTER 67
DECISION OF CHARACTER
661. Greatness of achievement is nought else but the greatness of the will that striveth therefor: all other things come not near the mark.
662. To avoid all action that is bound to fail and not to turn away from one's purpose because of obstacles : these two are said to be the guiding principles of the wise.
663. The man of action letteth his purpose appear only when that purpose is achieved : for an untimely disclosure would create obstacles that cannot be surmounted.
664. To say a thing is easy for any man : but to do it in the manner undertaken is a rare thing indeed.
665. Behold the man who hath acquired a name for the doing of great deeds : his services will be greatly in request with the prince and will be esteemed by all.
​666. That which they will, men acquire even in the manner that they will, provided they will with all their might.
667. Despise not a man for his look : for there are men who are even as the axle pin of the mighty rolling car.
668. When thou hast resolved upon a thing with all thy wits about thee, waver not but pursue thy purpose with vigour.
669. Take up the doing of works that increase happiness: and even if thou have to suffer cruel mortification in the doing of them, steel thy heart and persevere to the end.
670. Behold the men that have not the ambition to do great deeds : the world will not care for them whatever their other virtues may be.
# The Kural or the Maxims of Tiruvalluvar/Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7
OFFSPRING
61. We know of no blessing so great as the begetting of children that are endowed with understanding.
62. Behold the man whose children bear an unstained character : no evil will touch him in any of his seven reincarnations.
63. Children are the veritable riches of a man : for they pass to him by their own acts all the merits that they acquire.
64. Sweeter verily than ambrosia is the plain soup bespattered by the tender hands of one's own children.
65. The touch of children is the delight of the body: the delight of the ear is the hearing of their speech.
​ 66. The flute is sweet and the guitar dulcet: so say they who have not heard the babbling speech of their little ones.
67. What is the duty of the father to his son ? It is to make him worthy to sit in the front rank in the assembly.
68. To find oneself eclipsed in intelligence by one's children is a delight to all the world.
69. Great is the joy of the mother when a male child is born unto her : but greater far is her delight when she heareth him called worthy.
70. What is the duty of the son to his father? It is to make the world ask, For what austerities of his hath he been blessed with such a son ?

### Chapter IX

    Hiero breaks the power of the Etruscans by sea.
WHEN Acestoridas was archon of Athens, and Cæsio Fabius and T. Virginius consuls of Rome, at that time Hiero king of Syracuse (at the request of the citizens of Cuma in Italy, by their ambassadors, who were greatly annoyed by the Etruscans) sent a considerable fleet to their assistance, who joining battle with the Estruscans of Tyrrhenia, in a sea-fight sunk several of their ships, and obtained a complete victory, and so the power of the Etruscans being broken, they returned to Syracuse.
