Illaramalladhu Nallaramandru
There is a controversy between Parimelalagar and Manakudavar in the interpretation of the word 'Akthum'. The former would say this refers to ascetic life, while the latter considers it as an emphatic reference to domestic life itself. As this chapter deals fully with domestic life, Manakudavar"s interpretation is more appropriate and has been adopted here, as by most other commentators and translators.
