Vinai thitpam-67th chapter of Thirukural-
(Strong sincerity towards work)

Translated  by

( In spite of all other  important aspects  mentioned in earlier, a job cannot  be completed  unless we have sincerity. Valluvar says  , that sincerity indicates  job  means  strength of mind and unless  it is there  no job can be completed.)

1.Vinai  thitpam yenpa thoruvan mana thitpam,
Mathathaya yellam pira

1.Sincerity  towards work indicates   strength of mind,
All other things  come  only  next to it.

2.OoRoraal   uththa pin  olkaamai   ivvirandin ,
AArenpar aainthavar  kol.

2.Removing likely problem first and not getting  weak when it comes,
Is   the strength of mind of a person, say those who have  thought about it.

3,Kadai kotka  cheithakkathu aanmai  idai kotkin,
Yeththaa  vizhumam   tharum,

3,Masculinity   consists of   not withdrawing   from a job ,
Till it is complete, if he withdraws   it would only cause  sorrow to him.

Or

3.Sincerity  in doing work consists  of  hiding it   from others ,

Without getting tired and without   any time delay.

It  should  be completed without depression .

10.Yenai thitpam  yeithiya  kaNNum vinai thitpam,
Vendaarai vendaathu ulagu.

1o, The world would  not want a  person, whatever may be  his strength,
Unless  he is strong in sincerity   in doing his job,
