Tirukkural-On Virtue-On Right Conduct-Kural 137
Eythuvar eythaap pali
In respect of this Kural, Rajaji's crisp translation cannot be bettered.
A
well-regulated
life
brings
honour;
Neglect
of
it
leads
to
disgrace.
Greatness goes with a life of good conduct; disgrace attends those who discard the true values of right conduct.This Kural is found appropriately inscribed, in most of the rest-houses of Tamil Nadu State, under the portrait of Thiruvalluvar. One wishes this was not a mere decoration and contributed more effectively to regulate the life and conduct of the occupants.
The Psalmist too sang that the 'Righteous' shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like the Cedar of Lebanon (Psalms: 92:12) This is only one side of the picture. The exact balance Valluvar had in mind, has been brought out in the following Biblical lines from the proverbs.
'As
righteousness
tendeth
to
life;
so
he
who
pursueth
evil
pursueth
it
to
his
own
death'.
(Proverb 11:19)
An echo of this Kural is heard in Pazhamozhi thus:
Iyakkathin
mikka
ezivillai,
illai
Olukkathin
mikka
uyarvu
( Pazhamozi-64)
