"Listen again, the actions of Prince Arulmozhivarmar who has gone to wage war in Eelam are very, very strange compared to the actions of the Crown Prince. What do we know about Yuddha Dharma? What have our forefathers followed for hundreds of years? If our country's forces take forces against other countries, we have to earn food for our forces from those countries. Soldiers should be paid based on what they capture in those countries. The excess should be sent to the government treasury in the capital. But do you know what Prince Arulmozhivarma does? We should send food from here to all our soldiers in the country of Eelam! For a year, I have also sent food on several ships ten times.

“Strange! Strange!”, “I can't stand this injustice!”, “I've never heard anything like this!” Voices arose.

"Listen to the reason given by Prince Arulmozhivarma for this miraculous thing. Earning food for our soldiers in an invaded country may incur the displeasure of the citizens there. We have no fight with the people of Elam but only with the royal clan of Elam. So do not make them suffer in any way! After fighting with the royal clan and winning, the government should be governed with the sincere will of the people. So money and food should be sent from here!”

Meanwhile, one of the people in the crowd said, “Don't ask anything from the people in the invaded countries; We have never heard of the martial virtue of falling at their feet!” said.

“Ask also the perversity that results. Due to the actions of the two princes together, the Tanjore palace's treasury and grain store were often depleted. I feel compelled to tax you all more. This is why I have been appointed as a divine officer! If I had not thought that the greatness of the Chola country was important, I would have left this post at some point.”

"Cow! Not together! Your presence in this position is a great protection for all of us. Did you not tell the Maharaja about these illegal activities?”

“What without saying! It has been said many times. Ask the big brat every time; Ask Ilayaprati!' is the only response. As I said earlier, the Maharaja has lost his ability to think for himself! Not listening to our ideas on important matters. The promise of his great-grandmother, Sembian Mathevi, was his scripture; Next, he asks his Selvak Kumari Kundavaiprathi for advice. I and the other ministers, who have gone gray in the service of the kingdom, should go and stop to ask the advice of that little girl who has never been north of Kollidam and south of Kudamurti; How is the story! We have never heard of women meddling in royal affairs like this since the beginning of this Chola kingdom! How long can we endure such humiliation? Or if you all agree, I will leave this state responsibility and the burden of filling the treasury with taxes and stay with my own city…”

“No way! Don't! Pavuurthevar should not abandon us like that. "The Chola Empire, which was founded by thousands of soldiers who fought hard and shed their blood for four generations, will crumble to pieces in an instant," said Sambuvariyar.
