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
