CHAPTER 87 - ON ENMITY
***
87/04. நீங்கான் வெகுளி நிறையிலன் எஞ்ஞான்றும்
யாங்கணும் யார்க்கும் எளிது.

87/04. Neengaan veghuli nirraiyilan enggaandrrum
Yangannum yaarkkum ellidhu.

87/04. One is an angry man; he cannot keep anything in mind and will let it out. It is easy for anyone, at any time, at any place, to complain against him.
***
Dushyant: It is easy to complain against a person.
Who has a weak mind and who is always angry.

Manoj: Everyone will complain
Against an angry person.
People avoid him always,
For fear of his anger and shouts.

Also he has a weak mind
They've all somehow found
That he can't keep secrets,
And he lets them out to others.

It is not difficult to complain,
Against this weak person,
Because of his short temper,
And open minded behavior.
***
87/05. வழிநோக்கான்; வாய்ப்பன செய்வான்; பழிநோக்கான்
பண்பிலன் பற்றார்க்கு இனிது.

87/05. Vazhinokkaan; vaaippana seivaan; pazhinokkaan
Pannbilan patrraarikku inidhu.

87/05. One will not learn law books; he will not act according to its rules; He will not care for any blame from others; he is not of good character; such a person can easily be destroyed by his enemies.
***

Dushyant: He seems to be an incorrigible man
Who cannot be corrected by anyone.

Manoj: He cares not for rules and orders
He cares not for others' blames.
He has no good character.
What more he requires?

From all his bad behavior,
He appears to be a gangster,
Fit enough to be shot dead
By his enemies for good.

Such a man is dangerous
To the country's interests.
Under watch he must be kept,
And must not be freely let out.
***
87/06. காணாச் சினத்தான் கழிபெருங் காமத்தான்
பேணாமை பேணப் படும்.

87/06. Kannaach sinaththaan kazhiperung kaamaththaan
Pennaamai pennap padum.

87/06. People celebrate a person having uncontrollable anger and extreme lust as enemy, the fire.
***
Dushyant: The fire of both anger and lust will burn
one as an enemy of mankind, no doubt.

Manoj: Uncontrollable anger
Extreme lust both are fire,
That will burn a person
Into ashes very soon.

If he's treated as an enemy,
He deserves that really,
As no one will tolerate,
Both his anger and lust.

There are some people,
Who come under this title,
As enemies of mankind,
Whose lives lag behind.
