Thirukkural-On Virtue-Control Of Temper-Kural 301
Kaakkinen kaavaakkaal en.
Only
the
man
who
controls
his
temper,
where
it
can
hurt,
is
in
fact
controlling
it,
Where
his
anger
cannot
have
sway,
such
an
exercise
is
futile
either
way.
This is a practical lesson in effective and purposeful control of temper. The poet's meaning in this couplet has been conveyed by posing an expressive question, ' Where his anger cannot mean anything, what matters if he guards against it or not?'. It should be particularly guarded where it can hurt. Apparently Valluvar had in in the poor weak man who could be badly hurt by a bully's anger. The use of the two phrases 'Sellidam' and 'Allidam' to counter-balance the area where anger hurts as against that where it cannot hurt, makes for the beauty of this verse. Valluvar has used the terms 'Meliyaar' & 'Valiyaar.' In similar contexts elsewhere also.
