Enputhoal poartha udambu.
Love is the quintessence of life; without it,
A man is but a frame of bones covered with skin.
Valluvar emphasises again in this Kural the fact that life consists not only of the physical activities of the body, but of the basic reality of love. If the basic core of life, which is love, is missing there is nothing left in life but a skin-covered skeleton.
