Iraththalum eedhale polum karaththalum
KanniRkan aaraa adum.
Asking for something is like giving — if concealing (a virtue) strikes the very eye.
வேண்டுதலும் கொடுப்பது போல் ஆகும்; மறைப்பதும் கண்ணுக்கு தெரிகிறது.
Requesting from the right person at the right time is itself a form of giving — because it gives the giver the opportunity to exercise their generosity. And concealing virtue is visible to discerning eyes.
