Madamai madavarkan undu
Wealthy
men,
who
fail
in
extending
hospitality,
Are
fools;
they
live
in
poverty
amidst
plenty.
In the midst of all their wealth it would be the most pitiable state of poverty indeed if they do not find it in themselves to be hospitable to guests. Such men are, in their heart, exceedingly mean and deserve to be despised for their poverty in plenty.
