Tirukkural-On Virtue-The Helpmate-Kural 56
Tarkaathuth tarkontaar paenith thakaisaandra
Sorkaathuch Soarvilaal pen.
Sorkaathuch Soarvilaal pen.
One who never falters in protecting herself, while tending her husband
And keeping the good name of the family, is a woman indeed.
A good wife will not spare herself in her triple duties of protecting herself, her husband and the fair name of her family.
Legend has it that Valluvar himself had such a wife, Vasuki Ammayar.
The same idea is recorded in the Bible thus:
'Happy is the husband of a good wife; the number of his days will be doubled'.
The idea of this Kural has been underscored in the following lines of Silapathikarm:
Kaadalaar piriyaamal kavukaik naekizaamal
Theedharu vaedithch cinamalar koduthoovi
Mangala nallamali yaetrinaar
(Silapathikaram)
