Offer The Alms To The Extent Of Making His Face Gleeful! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Offer The Alms To The Extent Of Making His Face Gleeful!



It is painful when you are unable to offer the alms
…to the needy to the extent of making his face gleeful!

It is painful to go for satiating the hunger and eat
…with the persons who don’t equally share and eat!

It is painful to acquire disease and suffer
…from illness while you become very old!

So to say, the words of a Brahmin who don’t
…recite the sacred mantras are also painful!

ஈத்த வகையா னுவவாதார்க் கீப்பின்னா
பாத்துண லில்லா ருழைச்சென் றுணலின்னா
