Desire not for others' possessions

18

Veggamai

Not being covetous

Naduvindri nanporul veggin kudipondri
Kutramum aangey tharum

Desire wealth genuine others
Trouble that bothers

Padupayan veggi pazhipaduva seyyar
Naduvanmai naanu bavar

People fearing repercussion never
Desire covet ever

Sittrinbam veggi aranalla seyyarey
Matrinban vendu bavar

Those desiring eternal bliss
Refrain committing gliss

Ilamendru vegguthal seyyar pulamvendra
Punmaiyil katchi avar

He overcame senses bothers
Not wealth others

Aggi agandra arivennam yaarmaattum
Veggi veriya seiyin

All things detested what
Wisdom worth that

Arulveggi aatrinkan nindran porulveggi
Pollatha soozha kedum

Illgotten wealth diminishes righteous
Path from virtuous

Vendarka veggiyam aakkam vilaivaiyin
Maandar karitham payan

Desire others possessions refuse
Aspire that infuse

Aggamai selvathirku yathenin veggamai
Vendum pirankai porul

One's real rightful wealth
Not others' dwelth

Aranarindhu vegga arivudaiyar serum
Thiranarindhu thangey thiru

Wealth comes one's way
Others' not away

Iraleenum ennathu veggin viraleenum
Vendamai ennum serukku

Desireless for others' property
Brings one prosperity
