The Three Things That Should Not Be Praised By The Individual Himself! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Three Things That Should Not Be Praised By The Individual Himself!



The ancestral pride that is well known by itself
in an assembly of the people who are capable of
knowing the genetic pride of others,

the esteemed knowledge of the one self
in the assembly of the most learned people

and the achieved victory that is acquired
in the winning battlefield, liked to the satisfaction
with the appreciation of the king

are the three things that should not be praised
by the individual concerned himself!
