Tirukkural-On Virtue-Good Reputation-Kural 232

By Staff

Thirukkural, Kural 232
Uraippaar uraippavai yellam irappaarkkonru
Eevaarmael nirkum pukaz

A translation of this Kural based on K Srinivasan's is given below;


The fame of a man, who gives freely to sufferers, Will live for ever in the words of all speakers and writers.

The renown of such vallals or generous souls, lives in literature and history. Tamil literature has quite a host of such legendary figures like 'PaariVallal':

"Eevaarai kondaadi yaerpaarai paarthuvakkum
Saeimaadak koodal"

(Paripaadal, Thirattu: 11)
