Kural 804

விழைதகையான் வேண்டி இருப்பர் கெழுதகையாற்
கேளாது நட்டார் செயின்.

Vizhaidhakaiyaan Venti Iruppar Kezhudhakaiyaar
Kelaadhu Nattaar Seyin

When friends unbidden do familiar acts with loving heart, Friends take the kindly deed in friendly part

Meaning

If friends, through the right of friendship, do (anything) without being asked, the wise will be pleased with them on account of its desirability.

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
