உழைப்பிரிந்து காரணத்தின் வந்தானை வேந்தன்
இழைத் திருந்து எண்ணிக் கொளல்.

Who causeless went away, then to return, for any cause, ask leave; The king should sift their motives well, consider, and receive

When one may have left him, and for some cause has returned to him, let the king fulfil the object (for which he has come back) and thoughtfully receive him again.
