In the ongoing tussle between the Rulers and the Sankaracharyas, not to mention other Sadhus at the Ayodhya temple , one wonders to which of the following 2 Tirukkural couplets should a humble and loyal subject of the land lend greater credence and deference :
Kural 895 :
Kural 900:

We are a democracy…we are not ruled but governed. So there is no ruler. So the first kural you have mentioned above cannot apply.
