Orrukum vali konddi oruththikkum vendum
Sinaththaip porupavar tham.
Those who can endure anger — they are the ones who can truly punish and who are needed by all.
கோபத்தை பொறுக்கக்கூடியவர்களே உண்மையில் தண்டிக்கும் வலிமை உடையவர்களும், அனைவராலும் விரும்பப்படுவர்.
Those who can endure anger (their own and others') are the most powerful and most valued. True punishing power belongs to those who endure first — because their eventual response comes from wisdom rather than reactive emotion. Patient people are both more powerful AND more socially desired.
