Oppuravaal vaazhvaar uyarndhar thaazhndavar
Mikkaar ilaa vazhiyagathu.
Those who live by philanthropy are elevated; those without it are diminished — on the path without the excellent.
ஒப்புரவால் வாழ்பவர்கள் உயர்ந்தவர்கள்; ஒப்புரவற்றவர்கள் தாழ்ந்தவர்கள்.
Social standing is determined by philanthropy, not wealth. The philanthropic are elevated; the non-philanthropic are diminished. On the path of life without generous people, there is no excellence.
