Four Pearls Inlaid Ornament [17- 19 From Tamil] Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

17. The false behavior of the friends breaks the friendship.
When aging shows its symptoms, youthfulness ruins.
Acting beyond the limits weakens one's health.
When life reaches the boundary, the soul leaves off.

18. Women with integrity improves the domestic life.
Trained warriors win the war and effect progress.
The scepter of a king brings prosperity.
Removing the relations ruins the king.

19. The worries of a husband worry his wife too.
Confusion in wise men makes their ideas confused.
Anxiety in people makes anxious the king's rule.
Shaking of the strings in a lute, shakes the tunes.
