Pukalpurindha illilorkku illai ikalvaarmun
Eaerupol peedu nadai.
Eaerupol peedu nadai.
If a man's wife does not bring him credit and honour, he cannot walk
With proud ' leonine' gait in the face of his Detractors.
A man, who is not fortune to have a good wife that assists him along the path to honour and glory, dare not walk like a lion in the midst of his enemies.
Shakespeare's sarcastic remark in Measure for Measure is also relevant here:
'A light wife doth make heavy husband'.
It is also recorded in the bible,
'drooping hands and weak knees
are caused by the wife who does
not make her husband happy'.
