Verse 1134: Duty becomes affection

1134. Duty becomes affection

கடலுப்பு நீரில் கரைந்ததே போலக்கடமை கரையும் உறவு

kadaluppu neeril karaindadhe polakkadamai karaiyum uravu

As sea salt dissolves into water, so duty dissolves into a relationship.
Salt dissolved in water is still there, all through it.
