நாம் கேட்டதைப் பிறர் மனவருத்தம் இல்லாமல் தந்தால், பிச்சை எடுப்பது கூட ஒருவனுக்கு இன்பமே.

வழங்குபவர், வாங்குபவர் ஆகிய இருவர் மனத்திற்கும் துன்பம் எதுவுமின்றி ஒரு பொருள் கிடைக்குமானால், அப்பொருள் இரந்து பெற்றதாக இருப்பினும் அதனால் இன்பமே உண்டாகும்

இரந்து கேட்ட பொருள் துன்பமுறாமல் கிடைக்குமானால், அவ்வாறு இரத்தலும் இன்பம் என்று சொல்லத் தக்கதாகும்.

Even begging may be pleasant, if what is begged for is obtained without grief (to him that begs)

Kural 1052 explores the emotional dynamics involved in the act of giving and receiving. It suggests that even the act of begging, which is usually seen as a demeaning or distressing activity, can be experienced as pleasurable if the object of need is received without causing any discomfort or distress to the giver. The verse emphasizes on the emotional state of both parties involved - the giver and the receiver. It highlights the importance of empathy and understanding in a transaction, even when it's about begging. If the receiver can obtain what he needs without causing any grief to the giver, then the act of obtaining itself becomes a source of happiness. This Kural encourages us to consider the feelings of others in all our interactions. It inspires us to ensure that our needs and desires do not cause inconvenience or distress to others. This is a profound lesson in empathy, respect, and human dignity which holds relevance even today. In broader perspective, this verse can also be interpreted as a commentary on social welfare, where it advocates for a society where necessities are provided to those in need without causing distress or discomfort to those who give. It promotes a compassionate society where sharing and caring is the norm, and where the act of giving, even to the extent of begging, can be a source of joy rather than a cause of distress or shame.
