உற்றநோய் நோன்றல் உயிர்க்குறுகண் செய்யாமை
அற்றே தவத்திற் குரு

Bearing the distress & not distressing others,
are factors of penance

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The basics - such as bearing the distress happened to oneself and not making distress to other lives - are the factors of penance.

(Likewise...)

The attitudes - such as accepting the mistakes we have committed and not exaggerating the mistakes of others - are the theories of humane.
