The Blemishless
Hospitality-3
karavAdhu mATRili
sORittu
It is said that a man's real nature
can be guaged only when he is in distress. A man's genuine character is expected
to emerge only when he is in troubled times.
Receiving srEvaishNavite guests and
taking care of them is expected of one and all. This is also of course
definitely an appreciable quality.
Even if they are in distress they
should take care of the srEvishNavic guests. This is highly commendable.This is
what has been observed and lauded by sri periAzhwAr in
thiru-k-kOshtiyUr.
"kAsin vAi karam
viRkilum, karavAdhu mARRili sORittu" 4-4-10;
Taking care of srEvaishNavites,
even in times of distress is a great thing. When there is a drought like
circumstances, people tend to hoard their wealth for future. Instead of that if
they bring it out without hiding and distribute them for the sake of
srEvaishNavites, that is indeed a highly excellent character. On the top of it
all, these are distributed without anything exepecting in return.
These are done by thirukkOshtiyUr
srEvaishNavites.
kAsin vAi karam
viRkilum--- In tough times;
karavAdhu--Without keeping or reserving or hiding any
wealth for future;
mARRili
-- without expecting anything in return;
The vyAkyAnam
brings this fact excellently.

Even at times of
distress there is nothing greater than surrendering to the guests which is meant
for themselves.
They will not keep
the groceries and wealth with them for future but bring up these for the
guests
