iṉṉā ceytārai yoṟutta lavarnāṇa / naṉṉayañ ceytu viṭal
“To punish wrong, with kindly benefits the doers ply; / Thus shame their souls; but pass the ill unheeded by.”
“How shall a man punish them that have injured him? Let him do them a good turn and make them ashamed in their hearts.”
A noble way to correct someone who caused pain is to offer a bounded good that awakens moral shame, then release both the wrong and one's own good deed from the ledger.

இன்னா செய்தாரை ஒறுத்தல்= தமக்கு இன்னாதவற்றைச் செய்தாரைத் துறந்தார் ஒறுத்தலாவது; அவர் நாண நன்னயம் செய்து விடல்= அவர் தாமே நாணுமாறு அவர்க்கு இனிய உவகைகளைச் செய்து அவ்விரண்டனையும் மறத்தல்.

The supreme way to punish those who have harmed you is to shame them by doing them a genuine goodness, and then let both the wrong and the deed pass from memory.
