It is natural for a merchant to guard his own goods. But Valluvar says he should guard others' goods, the customer's welfare and rights, as his own.\n\nThe depth is this: in trade there are two parties, seller and buyer. If the seller looks only to his profit, he will be tempted to cheat the buyer. But if he sees the buyer's welfare as his own, he will act honestly.\n\nThis honesty is no loss; it is the true success of trade. When trust grows, the customer returns. Profit from cheating once lasts a few days; profit from honesty lasts a lifetime.\n\nCommentators stretch 'piravum thamapol' to others' goods, others' welfare and others' rights. The idea is to treat others as ourselves in weight, measure, quality and price.\n\nSangam literature gives evidence. The Pattinappalai praises the merchants of Pukar, saying that they traded without taking more when receiving and without giving less when giving.\n\nThis dharma is not for merchants only. A doctor, a teacher, a builder or a worker, when he treats the welfare of the one served as his own, makes his work dharma.\n\nAt the start of the chapter he spoke of impartiality as worth; at the end he shows how it works in the marketplace. Dharma is not only in the temple but in the market.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bb0 \u0bb5\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd

with a background in the Sangam text Pattinappalai, which praises the city of Pukar. Kaveripoompattinam was a great port city at the place where the Kaveri meets the sea. Horses, pepper, silk and pearls from many lands arrived there.\n\nThe Pattinappalai says of its merchants: when they took goods they did not take more, when they gave they did not give less; they traded fairly in all goods. This is the poet's testimony.\n\nLet us imagine a merchant in that spirit. Call him Annamalai Chettiar. He was a pepper trader. Once a foreign merchant came to him for the first time to buy pepper. Not knowing the language, he could not test quality or weight.\n\nA question rose in the Chettiar's mind: \"If this man were my younger brother, what would I do?\" He checked the scale and gave good pepper, in right weight, at the right price. When a small slip led the man to pay too much, he returned it at once.\n\nThe foreign merchant was amazed. Returning home, he told his friends about that merchant. The next year many merchants came looking for him. His shop grew large.\n\nOne day he told his son, \"Our scale shows not only weight but our heart. As the buyer weighs our goods, he weighs us too.\"\n\nThe truth of verse 120 is this: the trade of one who guards others' goods as his own endures and grows. It applies not only in the market but in every service.\n\nThe story is invented, but behind the old shops that have stood for generations in our towns there is just such honesty.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"In my work, do I guard the interests of the one I serve as I guard my own?","image_prompt":"A Tamil merchant in a spice market of Kaveripoompattinam weighing pepper on a brass balance for a foreign trader, sacks of pepper and pearls, ships with sails at the harbour behind, palm-leaf style with lotus border.
