Kural - 234

If men do virtuous deeds by world-wide ample glory crowned,
The heavens will cease to laud the sage for other gifts renowned

Explanation
If one has acquired extensive fame within the limits of this earth, the world of the Gods will no longer praise those sages who have attained that world.
