Verse 598: Settling the aim

598. Settling the aim

இருகண் ஒருபொருளே நோக்கும் இருபொருள்நோக்கின் இருகண்ணும் பொய்

irukan oruporule nokkum iruporulnokkin irukannum poy

Two eyes look at one thing only; if they look at two things, both eyes are false.
‘False’ as a lying witness: eyes split between two things give a true account of neither. Tamil ‘thing’ also means aim or purpose.
