103/01. A person conforming, "I will not go back from doing this action, " nothing else will give pride than this statement.
***
Abhay: One's self confidence it shows when he says,
He'll do the work definitely.

Naresh: When he is sure of an action,
His confirmation is a good sign,
That he'll certainly complete it
With all pride in doing it.

This type of man definitely
Will take his family
To greater heights
By his good efforts.

Not only a man of words,
A man of action he is,
When he says he'll do it,
There is no doubt in it.

103/02. Allvinaiyum aandrra arriyum enairandin
Neellvinaiyum neellum kudi.

103/02. Perseverance and extensive knowledge both mixed together
if one does an action, that family day by day will go up high.

Abhay: Both are good habits, one is perseverance
And another is possessing extensive knowledge.

Naresh: Sure, if perseverance is there,
It'll not give room for failure,
If one takes up a work sincerely,
At any time in an ideal family.

His extensive knowledge helps
His entire family's progress
Beyond his expectation;
This is how one must function.

A nation consists of families,
And if their reputation enhances,
It is no wonder for all of us,
If the nation's pride also increases.

103/03. "I'll enhance my family reputation, " if anyone declares like this God in his divine dress will rush for his help.
***
Abhay: "God helps those who help themselves."
This is a proverb that supports his declaration.

Naresh: Yes, God always helps,
If a sincere person prays,
And does his work honestly,
To support his family.

If one boldly declares
That he'll enhance
His family reputation,
God will help in his action.

God will give him better ideas,
All the strength, boldness,
And clear any kind of hurdles,
To go ahead with his actions.
