வீட்டில் இருந்து, பொருள்களைச் சேர்த்தும் காத்தும் வாழ்வது எல்லாம், வந்த விருந்தினரைப் பேணி அவர்களுக்கு உதவுவதற்கே ஆம்.

இல்லறத்தைப் போற்றி வாழ்வது, விருந்தினரை வரவேற்று, அவர்க்கு வேண்டிய உதவிகளைச் செய்வதற்காகவே

வீட்டில் இருந்து பொருள்களைக் காத்து இல்வாழ்க்கை நடத்துவதெல்லாம் விருந்தினரைப் போற்றி உதவி செய்யும் பொருட்டே ஆகும்

The whole design of living in the domestic state and laying up (property) is (to be able) to exercise the benevolence of hospitality

Kural 81 discusses the fundamental essence of household life and the acquisition of wealth. According to this verse, the primary purpose of leading a domestic life and accumulating wealth is to extend hospitality and aid to those who visit and seek help. Hospitality, in the context of this verse, is not limited to welcoming guests into one's home, but it extends to providing assistance - monetary or otherwise, to those in need. The verse emphasizes that all activities related to domesticity, whether it's maintaining a home or saving money, are ultimately aimed at supporting this benevolence. The verse promotes a sense of community, urging people to use their resources to help others. It advocates for a society where individuals don't amass wealth for their own gratification, but share it generously with those who come to their door. The verse endorses the belief that the true value of wealth lies not in hoarding it, but in using it to extend kindness and aid to others.
