(from the 1941 film Madanakamarajan)


The Deceiver shall be deceived
Assistance never goes without being repaid
The Supreme Power restores the lost to the right person
Faith is always rewarded
Nothing is impossible for a truly persevering preson
Right goes to the right
True merit shall be rewarded
Wife's chastity governs her Husband's fate
Influence of anger
Ungrateful persons shall never prosper
Giving of food is the highest charity
The nature of a vindictive person
