Let him, who desires not to be despised, keep his mind from (the desire of) defrauding another of the smallest thing

The gain that comes by fraud, although it seems to growWith limitless increase, to ruin swift shall go

The eager desire of defrauding others will, when it brings forth its fruit, produce undying sorrow
The lust inveterate of fraudful gain, Yields as its fruit undying pain

Arulkarudhi Anputaiya Raadhal PorulkarudhipPochchaappup Paarppaarkan Il
The study of kindness and the exercise of benevolence is not with those who watch for another's forgetfulness, though desire of his property
'Grace' is not in their thoughts, nor know they kind affection's power, Who neighbour's goods desire, and watch for his unguarded hour
G. U. Pope, 1886

They cannot walk steadfastly, according to rule, who eagerly desire to defraud others
They cannot walk restrained in wisdom's measured bound, In whom inveterate lust of fraudful gain is found
G. U. Pope, 1886
Kalavennum Kaarari Vaanmai AlavennumAatral Purindhaarkanta Il
That black-knowledge which is called fraud, is not in those who desire that greatness which is called rectitude
Practice of fraud's dark cunning arts they shun, Who long for power by 'measured wisdom' won
G. U. Pope, 1886
Alavarindhaar Nenjath Tharampola NirkumKalavarindhaar Nenjil Karavu
Deceit dwells in the mind of those who are conversant with fraud, even as virtue in the minds of those who are conversant with rectitude
As virtue dwells in heart that 'measured wisdom' gains; Deceit in hearts of fraudful men established reigns
G. U. Pope, 1886
Alavalla Seydhaange Veevar KalavallaMatraiya Thetraa Thavar
Those, who are acquainted with nothing but fraud, will perish in the very commission of transgression
Who have no lore save that which fraudful arts supply, Acts of unmeasured vice committing straightway die

Kalvaarkkuth Thallum Uyirnilai KalvaarkkuthThallaadhu Puththe Lulaku
Even their body will fail the fraudulent; but even the world of the gods will not fail those who are free from fraud
The fraudful forfeit life and being here below; Who fraud eschew the bliss of heavenly beings know
G. U. Pope, 1886
