Tirukkural-On Virtue-The Renunciation-Kural 345

Tirukkural, Kural 345
Matrum thodarpaadu evankol pirapparukkal Utraarkku udampum mihai.

For one, who seeks release from the chain of births, body itself is a burden, What then is the idea of other attachment?

If one is intent on putting an end to the cycle of births, there is really no point in keeping one"s attachment to transient things alive. Even the body is something to be rid of, as early as possible.

Exactly the same lines occur in an appropriate context in Valayapathi.

"Matrum thodarpaadevankol pirapparukkal
Utraarkku mihai isaiyul vazi"

(Valaiyaapathi)
