பயனன்றாகிலும் பாங்கல்லராகிலும் செயல் நன்றாகத் திருத்திபணிக்கொள்வான்!

payananRAgilum pAngallarAgilum cheyal nanRAgat tiruttipaNikkoLvAn.

Even though our Acharyan does not gain anything by taming us, even though we are full of mistakes and so difficult to be tamed, he is compassionate enough to correct us by himself following all the anuShThanas and demonstrating to us the right way of living.
