Even the grass growing on the river bank attains the fulfilment of its birth ,as it serves as support to the hands of persons in danger of being drowned in water.

 jāyante viralā loke jaladā iva sajjanāḥ || 30 ||

Rarely born in this world good men who move on steadily and loftily and who remove the affliction of men, as are clouds which drift on slowly aloft and remove difficulties of the people.

निरतिशयं गरिमाणं तेन जनन्याः स्मरन्ति विद्वांसः ।
यत्कमपि वहति गर्भं महतामपि यो गुरुर्भवति ॥ ३१॥

Learned men assert the greatness of a mother to be unsurpassed in that she chances to conceive a foetus which when born becomes an object of veneration even to the great.

nivasann antar-dāruṇi laṅghyo vahnir na tu jvalitaḥ || 32 ||

A man who does not manifest his prowess suffers indignities , although strong; for fire when latent in wood can be touched but not when ablaze.

न केवलमसंमानं लभते च विडम्बनम् ॥ ३३॥

apṛṣṭo 'trāpradhāno yo brūte rājñaḥ puraḥ kudhīḥ |
na kevalam asaṃmānaṃ labhate ca viḍambanam || 33 ||
That foolish man who, not being chief, speaks unasked before a king ,meets not only with disrespect but contempt.

वचस्तत्र प्रयोक्तव्यं यत्रोक्तं लभते फलम् ।
स्थायी भवति चात्यन्तं रागः शुक्लपटे यथा ॥ ३४॥

vacas tatra prayoktavyaṃ yatroktaṃ labhate phalam |
sthāyī bhavati cātyantaṃ rāgaḥ śukla-paṭe yathā || 34 ||
A speech should be addressed  there where  when spoken there will be proper response;  just as a dye takes a firm hold on a white garment.

அறனறிந்து ஆன்றமைந்த சொல்லான்எஞ் ஞான்றுந்
திறனறிந்தான் தேர்ச்சித் துணை.-Thirukkural635

The man who knows virtue , has use of wise and pleasant words, with plans apt for every occasion ; he is the best counsellor for a king.

If a man serves the king well, then even one who has lost his position, will regain his post. If one does not serve the king properly even the one one holding the post may lose it.

प्रायेण भूमिपतयः प्रमदा लताश्च
           यत्पार्श्वतो भवति तत्परिवेष्टयन्ति ॥ ३६॥

āsannam eva nṛpatir bhajate manuṣyaṃ

vidyā-vihīnam akulīnam asaṃskṛtaṃ vā |
prāyeṇa bhūmi-patayaḥ pramadā latāś ca

 yat pārśvato bhavati tat pariveṣṭayanti || 36 ||

A king attaches himself to that man alone who is near him( in close attendance) , although he may be uneducated, not born in a noble family, or uncultured; as a general rule kings, women, and creepers cling to what is in immediate proximity.
