அவமதிக்காமல், இழிவாகப் பேசாமல் எடுத்துக் கொடுப்பவரைக் கண்டால், பிச்சை கேட்பவரின் மனம் மகிழ்ந்து உள்ளுக்குள்ளே உவகை கொள்ளும்.

இழித்துப் பேசாமலும், ஏளனம் புரியாமலும் வழங்கிடும் வள்ளல் தன்மை உடையவர்களைக் காணும்போது, இரப்போர் உள்ளம் மகிழ்ச்சியால் இன்பமுறும்

இகழ்ந்து எள்ளாமல் பொருள் கொடுப்பவரைக் கண்டால், இரப்பவரின் உள்ளம் மகிழ்ந்து உள்ளுக்குள்ளே உவகை அடையும் தன்மையுடையதாகும்.
