avathArikai (Introduction)
piLLai lOkAchAryar says “In caring for AchArya’s body, Sishya should give everything considering those to be AchArya’s wealth, and AchArya should only accept if given in that manner; other than this way, Sishya’s wealth which is having the defect of possessiveness should not be given and accepted by both”.
sUthram 338
AchAryan Sishyan vasthuvaik koLLak kadavan allan; Sishyan than vasthuvaik kodukkak kadavan allan.
Simple Explanation
AchArya should not accept Sishya’s wealth; Sishya should not give his wealth [to AchArya].
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
AchAryan Sishyan vasthuvai …
Sishyan vasthuvaik koLLak kadavan allan
Even forgetfully, Acharya should not accept Sishya’s wealth when Sishya claims ownership of the same.
Sishyan than vasthuvaik kodukkak kadavan allan
When Sishya claims ownership of his wealth, he should not submit the same, like submitting poison to AchArya who is tender by nature and who fears for wealth which is in contact with ahankAram (pride) and mamakAram (possessiveness) considering it to be poison.
