Mankalam enpa manaimatci marruatan
Nankalam nanmakkat peru

A good wife brings beauty and happiness to family life.
And good children are its fine ornaments.

The greatness of family life is determined by a good wife and good children are the ornaments thereof.

"Onsumar paanditr senchudar pola
Manaiku vilakaayinan marai
Puravani naadana pudhalvan thaaye"

This thirukkural is in the nature of a link with the next chapter on children.
