எல்லா வகையிலும் ஆராய்ந்து உரிய பதவி வழங்கிய பின்னும், செயல் திறத்தால், எதிர்பார்த்த அளவு இல்லாத மாந்தர் பலராவர்.

எவ்வளவுதான் வழிமுறைகளை ஆராய்ந்து தெளிந்து தேர்ந்தெடுத்தாலும் செயல்படும் பொழுது வேறுபடுகிறவர்கள் பலர் இருப்பர்

எவ்வகையால் ஆராய்ந்து தெளிந்த பிறகும்(செயலை மேற்க்கொண்டு செய்யும் போது) அச் செயல்வகையால் வேறுபடும் மக்கள் உலகத்தில் பலர் உண்டு.

Even when (a king) has tried them in every possible way, there are many men who change, from the nature of the works (in which they may be employed)

This Kural verse refers to the unpredictability of human behavior, especially when given responsibilities or positions of power. Even when a leader has meticulously evaluated and observed individuals, there are always some who change in character and performance when they are entrusted with tasks or duties. This change can sometimes be for the worse, and they may not live up to the expectations that were placed upon them. The verse emphasizes the need for leaders to be vigilant and adaptable, as individuals' behavior may vary based on the nature of the work they are assigned. It also serves as a warning that not all who seem capable initially will prove to be so in the long run, and leaders must be prepared to handle such situations. Ultimately, the verse imparts the wisdom that human nature is complex and can be influenced by circumstances and responsibilities. It encourages leaders to exercise caution and discretion when assigning roles and responsibilities.
