The Pleasing Kind Words And Courtesy! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
The Pleasing Kind Words And Courtesy!
An elephant is controlled
by fastening to a heavy post, (kattuth thaRi) :
The furious cobra is quietened
by blowing special trumpet, (makudi) :
The wretched unworthy men are punished by beating,
subdued by law-enforcing person, usually King,
and tied with iron hand-cuffs;
The pleasing kind words and courtesy
- by good thought, speech and deed -
are the factors sufficient to develop intimacy
with virtuous and worthy people indeed!
This poem 'The Pleasing Kind Words And Courtesy! ' is a translation of a poem from Tamil literature 'naanmaNik katikai'
கந்திற் பிணிப்பர் களிற்றைக் கதந்தவிர
மந்திரத் தாற்பிணிப்பர் மாநாகம் கொந்தி
இரும்பிற் பிணிப்பர் கயத்தைச்சான் றோரை
நயத்திற் பிணித்து விடல். - நான்மணிக் கடிகை 10
