எவர் இடத்தும் பொறாமை கொள்ளாதிருப்பதை ஒருவன் பெற்றால் சீரிய சிறப்புகளுள் அது போன்றது வேறு இல்லை.

யாரிடமும் பொறாமை கொள்ளாத பண்பு ஒருவர்க்கு வாய்க்கப் பெறுமேயானால் அதற்கு மேலான பேறு அவருக்கு வேறு எதுவுமில்லை

யாரிடத்திலும் பொறாமை இல்லாதிருக்கப் பெற்றால், ஒருவன் பெறத்தக்க மேம்பாடான பேறுகளில் அதற்கு ஒப்பானது வேறொன்றும் இல்லை.

Amongst all attainable excellences there is none equal to that of being free from envy towords others

Kural 162 emphasizes the virtue of being free from envy. The verse suggests that among all the admirable traits that one can possess, there is none that is as superior or beneficial as the ability to not harbor envy towards anyone. Envy is often seen as a destructive emotion that can lead to discontent, bitterness, and even harm to one's mental peace. It is a reflection of one's dissatisfaction with their own state and a desire to possess what others have. This verse encourages us to liberate ourselves from the shackles of such harmful emotions. This Kural highlights an important aspect of human character, suggesting that true excellence lies not in wealth, power, or material possessions, but in the purity of one's mind and heart. A person who does not feel envy is at peace with themselves and their circumstances, which leads to a harmonious and fulfilling life. This state of mind, the Kural suggests, is the highest virtue one can aspire to have. The Tamil explanations echo similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of freedom from envy and stating that there is no greater virtue than not harboring envy towards anyone. They suggest that such a state of mind is the highest achievement one can attain.
