சிறந்த வீரர்கள் அதிகம் இருந்தாலும், படைக்கு நல்ல தலைவன் இல்லை என்றால் அந்தப் படை போரில் நிலைத்து நிற்காது.

உறுதிவாய்ந்த வீரர்களை அதிகம் உடையதாக இருந்தாலும் தலைமை தாங்கும் தலைவர்கள் இல்லாவிட்டால் அந்தப் படை நிலைத்து நிற்க முடியாது

நெடுங்காலமாக நிலைத்திருக்கும் வீரர் பலரை உடையதே ஆனாலும், தலைமைதாங்கும் தலைவர் இல்லாத போது படைக்குப் பெருமை இல்லையாகும்.

Though an army may contain a large number of permanent soldiers, it cannot last if it has no generals

Kural 770 emphasizes the crucial role of leadership in any group or organization, in this case, an army. The verse captures the essence of leadership by stating that even if an army has a large number of committed and strong soldiers, it will not be able to sustain itself without the guidance and strategy provided by its generals or leaders. This wisdom applies to all spheres of life, not just warfare. In any organization, while the hard work and dedication of its members are essential, the role of a good leader who can guide, motivate, and strategize is equally, if not more, important. The leader is the one who plans, makes critical decisions, and steers the team towards its goal. In absence of such leadership, even the most competent of teams can falter and fail to achieve their potential. This is because while the team members may excel in their individual roles, they require a leader to unite their efforts and direct them towards a common goal. Therefore, the verse underscores the importance of effective leadership in the success of any endeavor.
