The child mercy which is borne by love grows under the care of the rich nurse of wealth

This Thiru Kural verse (Kural 757) is a metaphorical exploration of the relationship between love, compassion, wealth, and prosperity. In the verse, love is metaphorically referred to as the mother, and compassion (or mercy) as the child born of love. Wealth is likened to a nurse or caregiver, responsible for nurturing and ensuring the growth of the child. The verse implies that compassion, which emerges from love, thrives and grows under the care and nurturing of wealth. This is not to say that wealth itself is the source of compassion, but rather it provides the means through which acts of compassion can be materialized and expanded. The moral interpretation of this verse is that while love and compassion are innate human virtues, wealth plays a crucial role in enabling and amplifying our capacity for compassion. It allows us to turn our compassionate feelings into tangible acts of charity and benevolence. Therefore, wealth, when used wisely, can be a powerful tool to foster and spread love and compassion in society.
