குற்றமற்ற சில சொற்களால் சொல்லும் ஆற்றல் இல்லாதவர், பலபல சொற்களைப் பேச விரும்புவர்.

குறையில்லாத சில சொற்களைக் கொண்டு தெளிவான விளக்கம் தந்திட இயலாதவர்கள்தான் பல சொற்களைத் திரும்பத் திரும்பக் கூறிக் கொண்டிருப்பார்கள்

குற்றமற்றவையாகியச் சில சொற்களைச் சொல்லத் தெரியாதவர், உண்மையாகவே பலச் சொற்களைச் சொல்லிக்கொண்டிருக்க விரும்புவர்.

They will desire to utter many words, who do not know how to speak a few faultless ones

Kural 649 emphasizes the significance of precision and clarity in communication. Thiruvalluvar, the poet, suggests that those who struggle to express their thoughts succinctly and accurately tend to use an excess of words. This tendency is often born out of an inability to articulate their ideas with a few precise and flawless words. This verse underscores the importance of effective communication skills, particularly brevity and clarity. It suggests that verbosity or excessive use of words is not a sign of knowledge or wisdom. Instead, it might indicate a lack of understanding or inability to articulate thoughts clearly and succinctly. This Kural, therefore, advises one to focus on the quality of their speech rather than the quantity. It promotes the idea that one's words should be carefully chosen, meaningful, precise, and free from errors. It is a reminder that eloquence lies not in the amount of words used, but in the ability to convey one's thoughts effectively with fewer, faultless words.
