The good keeping in mind one favor received will forgive a hundred offences; but though a hundred favors be done to the bad they will, on receiving a single offence regard them all as offences. When thou bestowest a favor on another, be not solicitous about the time when it shall be returned: for after a little while the young Cocoa will give undiminished from it's head the water it drank while growing. NA'LADINA'NURU, மவலநலமுள்ளுங் குறவன் பயந்த ஒருநன்றிசெய்தவர்க்கொன் றியெழுந்த பிழை நூறுஞ்சான்றோர்பொறுப்பாகயவாக The mountainer thinks of his mountains, the husband-man of the cultionble land, the produce of which he gathers; the wise think of the special benefits they have received from others, and the fool keeps himself only in his own mind. For one good turn they have received from another, the wise will indure a hundred evils afterwards inflicted; but if they have received a hundred good turns and have suffered only one evil turn, fools will consider the hundred good turns as evils.

When those who have received a benefit consider what benefit they shall confer in return, they should account as the same the misfortunes which may happen to him from whom they have received it and to his relations, O Son of the Wind! to the benefits thou hast with so much trouble conferred; on the daughter of Janagen, who wears a band on her: ornamented bosom, my mind.cannot conceive an adequate return: NOTE.

Who irreverently licks the butter which has been offered to the Gods ? Let those who have a grateful remembrance of an obligation ever serve them firmly from whom they have received even a measure of grain; for know, O Prince of the shore on which roll the furious waves! that gratitude is not an adventure by sea in which merely two for one may be gained. To conspire with their enemies to destroy those from whom, relying on our attachment to them, we have received protection, resembles, O prince of the long and rocky mountains abounding in precious stones! the severing, through forgetfulness, the branch by which one is supported.
