நன்றி மறப்பது நன்றன்று நன்றல்லது
அன்றே மறப்பது நன்று.

ஒருவர் நமக்கு நல்லது செய்தால் அதை என்றும் மறக்க கூடாது. அதுவே ஒருவர் செய்த கெடுதலை உடனே மறப்பது நமக்கு நல்லது.
This kural comes under the section which talks about gratitude. In my opinion, Valluvar is talking about how there are no circumstances when it is acceptable to cancel a debt of gratitude for something good that somebody has done to you. In this specific kural, he says you should never forget anything good or beneficial that was done to you by somebody. On the other hand, if somebody has harmed you, it is best to forget it instantly as it serves no purpose to hold grudges.
In context, this message is even more powerful as in the next couplet, he says even a grievous harm (to the extent of murder) is trumped by a prior good deed a person has done to you. Essentially, a debt of gratitude is for ever. No subsequent bad deed cancels it. Perhaps only another good deed you do to them can balance the accounts?
