Tirukkural-On Virtue-Avoiding Idle Talk-Kural 196
Makkat pathadi yenal.
One who habitually utters vain and profitless words is no man, but just chaff among men.
A man of idle talk is just chaff among men. That would be the judgment on men who glory in idle talk. The New Testament of the Bible expresses a similar sentiment when it says:
'By thy words thou shalt be condemned'
(Matt. 12:37)
The word 'Yenal' has been used most effectively here, in the imperative mood, in two directly opposed senses – negative and affirmative.
