What Prevented Him To Help Others And Get The Merits Of Virtuosity? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

What Prevented Him To Help Others And Get The Merits Of Virtuosity?



The fellow shall not offer to others
..While the wealth was his own!

Even his descendants too will not offer
..While the wealth was their own!

The descendants would not have abused him
..To offer while the wealth was his own!

He will not abuse the descendants too
..To offer while the wealth was their own!

In that case, what prevented him
..To help others by offering his wealth

and get the merits of virtuosity
..while the wealth was his own and at his disposal?
