The Wealth Of A Person Not Offering To The Needy Is Equal To A Dog's Cocoanut! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
The Wealth Of A Person Not Offering To The Needy Is Equal To A Dog's Cocoanut!
O' the chieftain who has the mountain
where there are roaring waterfalls
and the full grown bamboos
that shower enormous ripened pearls!
Is it not, the abundant wealth of a person
who does not have mind to offer to the needy
and does not utilize to enjoy himself suitably,
equivalent to a dog having a cocoanut?
The dog will neither eat it by breaking
nor allow others to take it and use it!
This poem 'The wealth of a person not offering to the needy is equal to a dog's cocoanut! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Pazhamozhi nAnooRu'
இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா
வழங்கலும் துய்த்தலும் தேற்றாதான் பெற்ற
முழங்கு முரசுடைச் செல்வம், - தழங்கருவி
வேய்முற்றி முத்துதிரும் வெற்ப! அதுவன்றோ
நாய்பெற்ற தெங்கம் பழம்.151 - பழமொழி நானூறு
