சுடச்சுடரும் பொன்போல் ஒளிவிடும் துன்பஞ்
சுடச்சுட நோற்கிற் பவர்க்கு
Rational of those do penance, enhances on hardships,
as gold glitters on heating

as gold glitters on heating
Vizhiyappan's Commentary: Gold shines as better as continuous heating on fire! Similarly, the rational of those who practice penance, gets enhanced based on the amount of hardships.
(Likewise...)
Humane develops as good as continuous involvement in ethical deeds! Comparably, the clarity of those who think about life, gets stronger based on the ability of thinking.
