பகைவரால் கெடுதலை அறியாததாய், அறிந்தாலும் வளம் தருவதில் குறையாததாய் இருப்பதையே நாடுகளில் சிறந்தது என்று அறிந்தோர் கூறுவர்.

எந்த வகையிலும் கெடுதலை அறியாமல், ஒருவேளை கெடுதல் ஏற்படினும் அதனைச் சீர் செய்யுமளவுக்கு வளங்குன்றா நிலையில் உள்ள நாடுதான், நாடுகளிலேயே தலைசிறந்ததாகும்

பகைவரால் கெடுக்கப் படாததாய், கெட்டுவிட்ட காலத்திலும் வளம் குன்றாததாய் உள்ள நாடே நாடுகள் எல்லாவற்றிலும் தலைமையானது என்று கூறுவர்.

The learned say that the best kingdom is that which knows no evil (from its foes), and, if injured (at all), suffers no diminution in its fruitfulness

Kural 736 speaks about the resilience and strength of a kingdom. It emphasizes the characteristics that make a kingdom truly great. The verse says that the best kingdom is one that remains unaffected by the evil or harm from its enemies. This means that the kingdom is so strong in its defense and so prepared in its strategies that it remains unscathed by any potential threats or attacks. It's a kingdom that has the capability to neutralize or overcome adversities with intelligence and strength. Moreover, even if the kingdom experiences any damage or injury, it does not let that affect its productivity or fruitfulness. It swiftly recovers from the setback, maintaining its prosperity and growth. This resilience also signifies the kingdom's robust systems, effective leadership, and the indomitable spirit of its people. Therefore, a great kingdom, as per this Kural, is defined not just by its invincibility towards external threats but also by its resilience and capacity to sustain and enhance its prosperity, irrespective of the circumstances. This Kural can also be metaphorically applied to individuals, implying that a person's greatness lies in their ability to remain unaffected by negativity and to bounce back stronger from adversities.
