தாளாண்மை இல்லாதான் வேளாண்மை பேடிகை வாளாண்மை போலக் கெடும்

What does Thirukkural 614 mean?

Beneficent intent in men by whom no strenuous work is wrought, Like battle-axe in sexless being’s hand availeth nought. The liberality of him, who does not labour, will fail, like the manliness of a hermaphrodite, who hasa sword in its hand.
