Verse 757: Kindness without bargaining
757. Kindness without bargaining
விலைபேசி வாங்குவான் வாணிகன் பேசாதிலைபோடு வானே அறம்
vilaipesi vaanguvaan vaanikan pesaathilaipodu vaane aram
One who haggles over the price and then buys is a merchant; one who, without a word, lays out the banana leaf for a meal is virtue itself.
