Natrinai 210

wealth of bravery
wealth of kindness 
He bedazzles himself with his wealth to attract concubines. The friend-maid of his wife teaches him lesson.
You, the man of the village where the farmers goes to seed paddy in field plowed again after reaping the harvest, and return back to home with various hinds of fishes filling their vessel which was carried seeds of paddy to the field.
To speak elating oneself or going in a chariot is not ‘Wealth’. ‘Fearing for leaving others to suffer’ is the real ‘Wealth’ according to the Man of Grate.
So do not go to concubine’s house leaving your wife to suffer.

Poet:  MilaiKilan NalVettanar
This is a poem of second century B.C.
