Kulanudaiyaan kanne ula
Only the truly noble will give till it hurts,Without pleading straitened circumstances.
It must have been an appreciation of this thought that prompted Plato to write 'If a man be endowed with a generous mind, this is the best kind of nobility'. Again it is the same kind of nobility that Sambandar referred to when he said:
"Inmaiyaal
sendriranthaan
illaiyennaa
theendhuvakkum
thanmaiyaar"
(Sambanthar-Aakoor-9)
Centuries earlier 'Paripadal' has spoken of the generous men who respond to the needs of the deserving poor and act even before they realize their own straitened circumstances:
Illadhu
noaki
ilivaravu
kooraamun
Naladhu
vaeki
vinaiceyvaar
(Paripaadal: 10, 87)
