Verse 1045: The act remakes the actor
1045. The act remakes the actor
செய்வார் செயலென்று தீர்ந்தபின் செய்கையேசெய்வாரைச் செய்யும் வினை
seyvaar seyalendru theerndapin seykaiyeseyvaarais seyyum vinai
Once an act has become what they do, that act becomes the maker of those who do it.
Every key word grows from one Tamil root, sey, meaning both ‘do’ and ‘make’: the doers, the doing, and what the deed does to them.
