Tirukkural-On Virtue-An Open House Or Hospitality- Kural 81
Velaanmai seythar poruttu
The only purpose, of a family life of virtue and wealth,
Is
to
command
the
means
of
extending
hospitality
go
guests.
Hospitality
obviously
is
the
hall-mark
of
a
good
householder.
On
this
Rajaji
would
comment
'Family
Life
is
not
a
right
but
a
duty
arising
out
of
the
obligation
of
the
individual
to
society.
He
has
similar
comments
to
make
in
the
chapters
on
'Suttarandhthalaa
al'
and
'Opuravu'
which
take
him
too
surprisingly
near
the
communist
doctrine,
to
come
from
the
mouth
of
the
founder
of
the
Swatantra
Party!
It
only
shows
that
the
acknowledged
fundamentals
of
our
culture
really
cut
across
Western
political
party
lines.
The
following
is
the
description
of
a
good
housewife
from
the
bible:
'she
stretcheth
out
her
hand
to
the
poor;
yea
She
reacheth
forth
her
hands
to
the
needy.'
It is because Kannagi was unable to carry out these duties Silapathikaram says:-
Aravoarkku
alithalum
andhanar
ombalum
Thuravoarkku
yethirthalum
tholoar
sirapin
Virunthedhir
koadalum
ilandha
yennai
Similar were the feelings of Sita, incarcerated in distant Ceylon according to Kambaramayanam, which says -
Arundhum
meladagu
aarida
arundhum
yendru
alungum
Virundhu
kandapoadhu
yenurumo
yendru
vimum
Marundhum
undukol
yaankonda
noaikendru
mayangum
In both the cases, their unhappiness was substantially accentuated by the fact that they were not in a position to carry out their housewifely duties of hospitality and guest service.
In this context we may recall that Valluvar himself has recorded in Chapte 5 on the good householder that
.
Ilvaalvaan
yenbaan
iyalpudaya
moovarkum
Nalaatrin
nindra
thunai
And in this chapter the householder's duties have been clearly listed out one after the other.
