Thiruvalluvar's Couplets On Impartiality Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

111. If you’re prone to slant towards any of the friends, foes
and neutralists, equity is a good virtue.
112. Wealth of the equitable never shrinks
but lasts long to his descendents.
113. Wealth gained by biased means though seeming good,
should be spurned at that very moment.
114. Whether they’re partial or impartial can be known
from the discipline of their offspring.
115. Poverty and prosperity are nothing new; it is a beauty
of the wise to keep evenness of the mind.
116. When the heart brews up biased acts, know that
you walk into a trap.
117. When the just descend into poverty,
the world make no jibes at their fall.
118. Weighing up verily like the scales of justice
and not taking sides is a beauty to the wise.
119. If the mind is strong and untilting,
the resulting speech of rectitude is equity.
120. A thriving trade is to the trader who guards and trades
the goods of others as his own.
