The Virtues Done By The Unwise People Are Of No Use! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Virtues Done By The Unwise People Are Of No Use!



O' the girl who has good virtues!
Will the tall and thick door with high quality wood
be strong enough without the suitable latch? No!

Likewise, the virtues done by the unwise people
who do not know the value of the
said to be the knowledgeable books are of no use!

பன்னும் பனுவல் பயன்தேர் அறிவிலார்
