Verse 982: Wealth that remains
982. Wealth that remains
விடுத்தபின் நிற்கும் வளமென்ப பாலைக்கொடுத்தபின் நிற்கும் முலை
viduthapin nirkum valamenpa paalaikkoduthapin nirkum mulai
Plenty, they say, is what remains when it has been let go; the breast remains when it has given its milk.
Giving the milk does not use up the breast that gives it.
