வருவிருந்து வைகலும் ஓம்புவான் வாழ்க்கை
பருவந்து பாழ்படுதல் இன்று.

Paruvandhu Paazhpatudhal Indru

Each day he tends the coming guest with kindly care; Painless, unfailing plenty shall his household share

Meaning

The domestic life of the man that daily entertains the guests who come to him shall not be laid waste by poverty.
