The first is about hospitality. Inmaiyul inmai means the worst of all kinds of lack. It is not merely lack of money but inability to welcome and feed a guest who has come to the house. Since hospitality was the supreme duty of the Tamil householder, to be without the means for it was reckoned true poverty. The commentators take viruntu oral to mean turning a guest away or being unable to look after him.\n\nThe second part is about forbearance. Vanmaiyul vanmai means the greatest of strengths, and it is madavaar porai, bearing with the ignorant and foolish who err. Bodily strength, wealth and rank can be used to subdue and frighten others. But the strength to understand and bear the fault of the ignorant surpasses them all, because it is the ability to restrain oneself when one has the power to avenge.\n\nWhy do the two appear together? Hospitality and forbearance are related. Not every guest will behave as we wish, and some may err through ignorance. To serve them with patience is the highest hospitality. The same spirit extends to bearing an elder's lack of understanding or a child's mischief within the home. A host whose welcome depends on guests behaving perfectly has hardly extended a welcome at all.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb0\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba4

Rantideva from the Bhagavata Purana. Rantideva once had great wealth and a kingdom. But he gave away everything in charity and came with his family to a state of poverty. There was nothing to eat in the house. For forty-eight days they starved. On the morning of the forty-ninth day, from somewhere came a little ghee, milk, payasam and water.\n\nThe family were all weak with hunger. Just as Rantideva divided the food among everyone and was about to eat, a Brahmin came to the door and said, \"I have come hungry.\" Rantideva welcomed him warmly and respectfully gave him his share. The Brahmin ate happily and went away blessing him.\n\nAs they shared out what remained, a poor man arrived: \"Sir, I am starving.\" Rantideva gave him his share too. Next came a man with dogs asking for food, and Rantideva gave him what was left. Now only a little water remained.\n\nAs he was about to drink it, a humble man dying of thirst came and said, \"My thirst is not quenched; give me water.\" With tears Rantideva said, \"I want neither the eight siddhis nor liberation. Let me take upon myself the suffering of all living beings. If this water quenches his thirst, my hunger and thirst are gone.\" He gave away the water.\n\nThen the Trinity and the devas appeared before him. The Purana says these gods had come to test his patience and compassion. Rantideva's life shows that a heart that honours guests even in want overcomes poverty.
