Tirukkural-On Virtue-On Right Conduct-Kural 136
Right Conduct
oi-Staff
By Staff
Eadham padupaak karindhu
The
strong
of
mind
do
not
shrink
from
right
conduct;
They
know
its
breach
will
spell
ruin.
Whatever be the provocation, people with strength of character will not deviate from right conduct, because they are aware of the catastrophic consequences of such breach of standards. The word 'olkaar' is translated by Parimelalagar as 'Surungaar' referring to the person, as derived from the shrinkage of righteousness. Kaviraj Pandithar would translate it as 'Vittu vidaar' meaning 'will not abdicate'. Either of these brings out the meaning of Valluvar adequately. The former perhaps is a shade better.
