Tirukkural-On Virtue-The Helpmate-Kural 58

By Staff

Petraar perinperuvar pendir peruncirappup
Puthaelir valum ulaku

A wife who helps her husband to win name and fame, will not only share the honour
With her husband, but will gain glory in heaven.

A wife shall be a sharer in all the honour and glory of her husband, which she has helped him to attain, not only in this world but also in the next.

This is almost like a portion of the reading in the Christian marriage ceremony. About the husband of such a woman the bible has this to say:

'Her husband is known at the gates, when he
sitteth among the elders of the land".

It was part of the glory of Pumpuhar that it had women like this:

'Petraar Pizaiyaadha Pendirum'
