Virtuous People Shall Not Do Certain Things! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Virtuous People Shall Not Do Certain Things!



Virtuous people
...shall not smell the flowers
already worn to the hair in the head!

shall not wear the flowers already smelt,
...shall not receive, if the cow is given,
from the hands of Brahman!

and shall not offer the remains of food
...to the poor of lesser calibre,
hence leave such activities!
