Poet is telling that we should have done some good deeds in our earlier life if at all we want to enjoy good life in this birth.a good son makes a father happy b his good deeds and nature.a good wife always prays for her husbands welfare and well being.a good treats you alike even in the times difficulties or in good times.only lucky and good people can get such good son,good wife and good friend.

Our fate changes according to the people to whom we go for help.if a drop of water falls on hot iron,it evaporates with out any name or fame.if it falls on a lotus leaf,it glistens like a pearl.same drop ,if it falls in coral shell,it becomes a real pearl.whom ever we follow,we become lower,middle and high class ...ie total disaster,illusionary happiness and real happiness.

Pradaanam prachchannam

Anuthseko lakshmyaam,nirabhibhavasaaraah parakadhaah

Sathaam kenoddishtam vishama masidhaaraa vratham!//57//

We should help others silently,without others knowing about it.if anyone comes to your house for help,you should help him with love and affection.you should not tell others about the help you did him.if any one helps you, you should tell it in open to others.you should not be proud and headstrong if  good times come to you and you become rich.you should not belittle or abuse others.
This asidhaaraavratham is not acquired but in born in great people.

Sathaam kenoddishtam vishama masidhaaraavratha midam?//56//

Asidhaaraavratham means that even if you keep a man on a single bed with a young woman,hew ould not lose control but observes brahmacharyamhysically and mentally.it is said to be very difficult.
Doing a legal and rightful job is the first criterion.even if your life is at stake,you should not indulge in wrong acts.you should not crave and cringe for help from bad people.even when you are  poor ,you should not seek help even from your best friend.you should be brave even in times of difficulties and problems.you should be helpful to good and great people.
This strict asidhaaraavrathma is natural to goodnatured people. It can be learnt from anyone or from anywhere.

Poet is explaining us the the  mental stature of a good charactered person here.
Great peoples mind becomes soft and kind as they enjoy riches and pleasures.they are tender like petals of a lotus flower.when hardships and difficulties engulf them,they become hard like big boulders of a mountain.
This means that they do not lose their cool and composure when riches come to them.they do not waver and fear when hardships and difficulties come. They maintain equilibrium of  mantal status.

Poet is telling us the ways where by we can earn long term benefits.we should stop hurting other living beings.we should not aspire for others riches.we should always speak the truth.taking into consideration ,the present surviving circumstances,we should help others who are needy and practice charity.we should never talk bad of other women but maintain silence where they are concerned.we should be away from greed and greedy deeds.we should respect our teachers and elders.we should be docile.we should love all the living creatures and treat them equally and be kind to them.we should treat all saasthras and sciences equally.
If we behave like this,we are sure to gain all the good benefits in the long run.

Great people do not need physical ornaments to adorn them.they do not have golden ornaments,it does not matter. They have so many more prestigeous ornaments.their hands are adorned by donations to the needy and poor.they bow to their teachers and so their head is blessed because it touches the feet of their Guru in submission.their face has a glow which comes by speaking truth all the time.their shoulders are proud with valour which brings victory in times of war.their hearts are clean and clear and are not tainted with greed or ill will.that untainted and plain natureitself is a great boon.their ears are filled with discussions and knowledge about vedas and science and many literary things.
What more ornaments do one need other than these ornaments?

In this poem ,poet is explaining the general traits of good natured people.great people have these traits by nature.when troubles come,they are fearless and confident.when they get riches,they show patience.in assembly,they show their capacity to explain by fine speaking.they show their valour in war.they are interested in fame.they are interested in learning vedas,science and earn knowledge.

Now he is telling us about sujana paddhathi.he is saluting good natured and good charactered people.good people have interest in making friendship with good people.they always love hood traits in others.they are obedient to their teachers.they are interested in learning and knowledge.he is satisfied with his wife and is not interested in other peoples wives. He is afraid of getting ashamed in the public.he is having ample bhakthi and reverence towards God.if at all,he is belittled by others,he would show his talent and calibre.if he realises that he is having friendship with wrong people,he would break that friendship and moves away from bad people.poet is saluting those who have these good traits.

Lubdhaka dheevarisunaa nishkaarana meva vairino jagathi//50//

A trouble some person is an eternal enemy for a good natured manner.no reason is required for that antagonism.to exemplify this fact,poet has used beautiful similies.fish live happily in water. They never harm anyone. But fisherman catch them by hook and kill them.deer live in forests eating grass and tender leaves. They do not harm even a small animal during their entire life time. But ,hunters kill them without even giving a single thought as to why they should kill such meek creatures.similarly,cruel and bad persons create trouble to good natured  people without any reason or cause.

Poet is telling how good and bad charactered persons make their friendships.bad persons friendship is like a shadow in the morning which is large and gets shrinking as the time moves on.good peoples friendship is like a shadow formed in the evening,which is small at the beginning and goes on increasing as the time passes.
So,one. Should assess well ,which is apt for you and decide accordingly.

It is better not to fall in the eyes of bad charactered persons.it is better not to go near a person who encourages and glorifies bad people.you should keep distance of a person who has no scruples and character.we should be away from those who lived life in acheap manner earlier,but due to grace of God is now in a better position.but just that now he is  well off forgets his past and ill treats good persons. If you go near him,you would never prosper and be happy.it is alwaysbetterif you do not move in his circles and near him.

Poet is trying to convince us that working under a king is a tough task.
While serving kings,every thing will be seen from a different angle.you can never satisfy them in any manner.even Brahma does not know how to please a king.
If a servant is calm and does not speak,they call him dumb.if he speaks nicely,they say he is talkative and is never silent.they would complain that he has loose tongue.if he is near them,they would say that he has no proper respect for them, if you stand aloof,they would say that you are fit for nothing.if you are patient, they would say that you are meek and afraid all the time.if you argue,they would comment that you are not from a good and respectable family.
So,even saints can not work with them and make a king happy and pleasant.

Na kaschichchanda kopaanaa

Na kaschichchanda kopaanaa,maathmeeyo naama bhoobhujaam,

Ho thaaramapi juhvaanam,sprushto dahathi paavakah//46//

Here poet is explaining the traits of a bad and cruel king.

Fire burns every thing.it does not spare any one,even those who help it to burn in the first place.people do yajnaas and yaagaas to appease god of fire and pour ghee and other sacred things to increase burning and glow with hot flames. If we touch it by mistake,it does not spare them also but burns them mercilessly.
Similarly,a ruthless king is angry all the time. They do not have even a single soul who loves them sincerely. Because,even of they are their well wishers, if they do even a slight mistake,that kimg would definitely kill them. He would never spare them on the reason that till then they have helped him immensely.

Poet is of the opinion that a man has seven sharp arrows that sting his heart.he is explaining them in detail.moon is dull and lustreless during the day.a woman past her youth is boring to her lover.a pond devoid of lotus flowers in uninteresting.physically handsome guy ,who has no education attracts
 none.a king who has only one interest,ie earning money and riches can never attain goodwill and love of his people.a good charactered person,if he is poor always,is disgusting to the public.a person who is besides a king and pollutes his mind in taking wrong decisions and disrupts good deeds is never excused.
All these above said people are like arrows  which cause pain to a man.

Poet is telling us the traits of good charactered and bad charactered people.if one is greedy,that itself is enough to bring you bad name to the worst extent.there is no need to have any other bad trait.if one is troublesome and creates ill between two people all the time, no other sin is needed to send him to hell.if you are righteous and treat people with equality it ,in itself is enough to wipe off your other sins. No need to do penance.if you are plain hearted and do not think ill of others and do not harm others,it is enough to bring salvation to you,.you need not go on pilgrimage to religious places for salvation.if you are good at heart,you do not need your family members to complete anywork.others will come to help you.if you are respected by people in society,no other beautification is necessary.if you are well educated,you do not need any other possessions or money.

He accuses good natured people irrelavently.he accuses a shy person as a mentally retarded one.he blames a yogi as an extravagant.he makes fun of a decent follower of good faith as pompous man.he blames a valiant person as ruthless fellow.he accuses a gnaani as dull headed person.he makes fun of a reasonable and nicely talking person as a pathetic person.he blames a famous person with aura as a proud person.he accuses a person who is a good at speaking in meetings as a talkative person ,blabbing all the time.

But because it is poisonousa nd vicious. We stay away from it.it is the most reasonable and safe thing to do.

A amn gets what is reserved to him by God. He gets neither short nor more. Every one should understand this. Even when you are in a desert land,if you are destined to get some money,you would definitely get it. You can not get  a single paisa more even if you go and stand up on a hill or on fertile land.so,be composed. Do not be jealous of the rich and look at them meekly for help doing wasteful deeds.
Let us take an example of a pot. It collects certain amount of water when we put it in the well .it does not collect even a single drop more even when you dip it in the sea where there is ample water. So,you should realise your limitations and understand your fate.
Ardha padhdhathi in this neethi sathakam is complete.

Koardhistheshaam paardivopaasrayena?//39//

If we have to seek protection and help we should go to a good charactered king but not to a characterless and cruel king.
There is no use in seeking help and asking protection from a king who has no character. If that king does not punish the wronged ones,he is useless.if he does not have good name and goodwill of the people of his country,he is of no use to anyone.
That king should protect Brahmins.he should give moral and monetary help to the poor and needy.he should know how to lead and enjoy his life.he should protect his friends.he should be strict with anti social elements and punish them. If a king can not do all these six things,it is an utter waste to serve him and be in his protection.

Raajaneethi or politics is of many ways.politics is sometimes appropriate and  in right direction.in some other places it is full of wrong doings.it is harsh at one place.it is endearing in some other place.it hurts you at one place.politics is kind to you at some other tome and place.it is greedy at one place. It helps the needy and poor at some other place.you have to spend and invest for politics at one place.in other places and times it is fetching and a money earner.simply,it is like a prostitute,who changes her behaviour according to the situation and timing.in other words,it is like a chamelion,who changes its color according to its surroundings.

The importance we give to an object or an issue depends on our financial status.that is definite according to the poet.we grope for hand full of rice when we are starving.but afterwards,when we become rich,we treat the entire universe as cheap as straw.so according to the existing times things will appear dear or useless and trivial. and vice versa.things which appear to be useless at one time,become dear and respectable afterwards when we are in dire need of it.that is peoples nature.

Poet says that even if by giving ones wealth to the poor and needy,a person becomes poor,it is a matter of prestige to him.in this connection,he gives few examples .when a raw diamond is cut and polished ,it glows with extra lustre.a warrior,though his body is filled with wounds caused by swords or arrows,shines with valour and aura.an elephant is elegant even if it loses some extra fat on its body.in winter,rivers shrink and sand dunes are formed on the banks of these rivers.even those dunes with lean river waters is beautiful on full moon days in winter.moon is beautiful to look at even one day before amaavasya,when a thin silky silver line is the form of a sickleis visible to the beholders eyes.a young girl or woman still looks beautiful and enchanting,eve after she is tired from love play.similarly,kings who give away their riches to the needy and poor and for good causes are glowing with special aura even after losing their entire treasures and wealth.
