Tirukkural-On Virtue-Avoiding Slander-Kural 183
Arankoorum akkam tharum.
It is better to die in virtue than live A life of slander, under false pretences.
Slander is picturised here as being more deadly than death itself. Instead of living a life of crooked and wicked slander, it were better and more virtuous to embrace death.
Biblical support for this thought is had in the following line of the Proverbs (10:18)
'He that utterth slander is a fool'.
