Kural 88
விருந்தோம்பல்
Hospitality
பரிந்தோம்பிப் பற்றற்றேம் என்பர் விருந்தோம்பி
வேள்வி தலைப்படா தார்.
Parindhompip Patratrem Enpar Virundhompi / Velvi Thalaippataa Thaar
English
Who loathe guest-service one day cry: \"We toil and store; but life is dry\"
— With pain they guard their stores, yet 'All forlorn are we,' they'll cry,Who cherish not their guests, nor kindly help supply
Those who have taken no part in the benevolence of hospitality shall (at length lament) saying, "we have laboured and laid up wealth and are now without support."
