பயன்மரம் உள்ளூர்ப் பழுத்தற்றால் செல்வம் நயனுடை யான்கண் படின்.

Payamaram uLLurp pazhutthattaal selvam Nayanudai yaan kan padin.

A fruit-bearing tree ripens within the town, and wealth appears before one with discernment. Abundance comes not by chance, but by the alignment of preparation and perception.
