Two of the following Kural couplets expose modern Dravidian translators.

In Kural 96, The first line அல்லவை தேய, அறம் பெருகும் will remind everyone paritranaya sadhunam vinashaya cha dushkritam dharma-sansthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् “To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked and to establish righteousness/Dharma “ said by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.(IV- 8)

Kural 98 is about this birth and the next birth; modern Dravidian translators avoid Rebirth and give wrong interpretation. மறுமையும்
இம்மையும் இன்பந் தரும்

English commentators stick to old and correct interpretations. This helps us to expose fraudulent commentators.
