தள்ளா வினையுளும் தக்காரும் தாழ்விலாச்
செல்வரும் சேர்வது நாடு. (64)
The production must be enough and to spare so that people of other countries may regard and love it as a sincere source of help. An ideally rich country is that which is full of unfailing resources even when the surrounding countries face insufficiency and famine. In prehistoric days earth was considered to be created as the common place of all human beings and no king has any exclusive right over it, and hence no Tamil state ever raised any objection against migrations of people from one state to another. The immigration itself was not felt as a burden but on the other hand the natives received the immigrants warmly and provided them with houses to live in and lands to till and toil to eke their livelihood honorably. The kings most willingly extended their protection to these new-comers till they settled themselves to pay the revenue and other taxes. In the mean -while the people of the country shared the additional burden of the Government.
