Mukesh: When a purity of action Will surely bring one Whatever things he wants Why should he go for other means? He knows that an impure action Will result in blame and sin And so he goes on the right way To do good things every day. For every action done, There is an opposite reaction, And this also he knows well So, he's always careful. *** 66/03. இடுக்கண் படினும் இனிவந்த செய்யார் நடுக்கற்ற காட்சி யவர். 66/03.

Mukesh: Yes, if one does any action, It should be a pure one, That'll bring him fame And fetch him a good name. On the contrary, his wrong action Will bring him blame and sin, And will spoil his reputation, Step by step, in the long run. So, to prosper well in future, His actions must be pure. This rule he must keep up always When he performs all actions. ***
