Glory Of Renunciation

Those
who,
having
experienced
the
paths
of
both
householder
and
neethar,
Thereafter
preach
ad
practise
virtue,
will
be
held
in
high
esteem..
This Kural, along with the first two of this chapter, emphasises the superiority of the life of renunciation (of neethar) as a path to fame, when compared to all others, since 'neethar' has experience of the best of both worlds and is, therefore, in a better position to project virtue in precept and example.
Though 'aram' is a general term for virtue, including that practiced by the householder, the expression 'aram poondaar' here refers specifically to 'neethar'.
