intelligence will not seek the mean pleasures from
prostitutes whose charm is common to
all. (Couplet

will not indulge in the mean pleasures of
prostitutes who rejoice in their base

ஆயும் அறிவி னவர். (குறள் – 914)
பொதுநலத்தார் புன்னலம் தோயார் மதிநலத்தின்
மாண்ட அறிவி னவர். (குறள்

தந்நலம் பாரிப்பார் தோயார் தகைசெருக்கிப்
புன்னலம் பாரிப்பார் தோள். (குறள்
