The Pleasing Kind Words And Courtesy
An elephant is controlled
by fastening to a heavy post, (kattuth thaRi) :
The furious cobra is quietened
by blowing special trumpet, (makudi) :
The wretched unworthy men are punished by beating,
subdued by law-enforcing person, usually King,
and tied with iron hand-cuffs;
The pleasing kind words and courtesy
- by good thought, speech and deed -
are the factors sufficient to develop intimacy
with virtuous and worthy people indeed!
