ஆட்சியாளருடன் பழகுபவர் ஆட்சியாளர் எவற்றை விரும்புகிறாரோ அவற்றை விரும்பாமல் இருப்பது, அவருக்கு ஆட்சியாளரால் நிலைத்த செல்வத்தைக் கொடுக்கும்.

மன்னர் விரும்புகின்றவைகளைத் தமக்கு வேண்டுமெனத் தாமும் விரும்பாமலிருத்தால் அவர்க்கு அந்த மன்னர் வாயிலாக நிலையான ஆக்கத்தை அளிக்கும்

அரசர் விரும்புகின்றவர்களைத் தாம் விரும்பாமலிருத்தல் (அரசரைச் சார்ந்திருப்பவர்க்கு) அரசரால் நிலையான ஆக்கத்தைப் பெற்றுத் தரும்.

For ministers not to cover the things desired by their kings will through the kings themselves yield them everlasting wealth

This Kural verse emphasizes on the virtue of selflessness and integrity in the role of ministers or advisors to the king. It states that those who do not covet what their king desires will be rewarded with enduring wealth by the king himself. In governance, a minister or an advisor should be devoid of personal aspirations that align with the king's desires. This is because their primary role is to serve the king and the kingdom, rather than satisfying their own ambitions. Their responsibility is to provide unbiased advice and guidance to the king, keeping the welfare of the kingdom in mind. If the ministers focus on their personal gains, it may lead to corruption and misgovernance, which would eventually cause harm to the king and the kingdom. On the other hand, if they act selflessly and do not covet what the king desires, it builds trust and respect in the eyes of the king. Recognizing their integrity and dedication, the king would reward them with everlasting wealth, which is not just materialistic but also includes respect, trust, and a place of honor in the kingdom. This verse thus encourages the virtues of selflessness, integrity, and dedication in individuals who are in positions of power and influence. It reminds us that the path of righteousness and selflessness yields lasting rewards.
