Poraiyudaiyar aaga poraavidil povar
Marai vidhiththan alla gunangal.
If one does not have forbearance, all the good qualities prescribed by the Vedas will leave.
பொறுமையுடையவராக இல்லாவிட்டால், வேதங்களால் விதிக்கப்பட்ட நல்ல குணங்கள் அனைத்தும் போய்விடும்.
Forbearance is the container that holds all other virtues. Remove patience, and all other Veda-prescribed virtues depart. This is because all virtues require time to manifest — and time requires patience. Without forbearance, no virtue can be sustained.
