Tirukkural-On Virtue-Social Cooperation-Kural 215
Paerari vaalan thiru.
When the good man, who knows and does his duty to his fellowmen, acquires wealth,It is like the village drinking-water pond getting filled up by rain.
Such a development is an occasion for joy for the whole village community. For the tank, exclusively meant for drinking water, would keep the water obtained from the purest of all sources, i.e., the rain, from going waste and would serve the needs of the people of the village, according to their requirements, for months to come. These 'uoorunis' as the name implies, are the water sources that feed the villages. There are such drinking water ponds even now in Ramnad and Madurai districts of Tamil Nadu. Kalluruni, Karuppayee uruni are names of villages derived from the uoorunis of the village. Peraurani is another example from Tanjore district.
Just
as
the
uooruni
gets
its
supply
of
water
from
unpolluted
sources,
the
good
man,
who
loves
all
humanity,
gathers
his
wealth
from
untainted
sources,
through
unquestionable
means
and
holds
it
in
trust
for
all
the
village
and
also
distributes
it
according
to
the
needs
of
all
concerned.
The
idea
here
is
much
broader
than
the
concept
of
'Paziyanji
paathoon'
(i.e.)
faultless
earning
and
generous
sharing,
postulated
in
the
chapter
on
guest
service.
The
phrase
'Ulakavaam'
epitomizes
such
a
good
man's
philosophy
of
life,
which
is
amplified
in
Kural
399
thus:
Thaamin
puruva
thulakkin
purakandu
Kaamuruvar
katrarindhaar
A
more
recent
expression
is
the
well-known
statement
of
Vallalar
based
on
Thirumoolar's
Thirumanthiram.
'Yaam
petra
inbam
paeruha
ivaiyagam'
Let
all
the
world
get
the
happiness
that
I
have
had
the
privilege
to
enjoy.
The
idea
in
this
present
kural
is
also
found
enshrined
in
the
following
lines
of
Agananuru:
Aenrool
viyan
kulam
nirayaveesip
Perum
paeyal
pozhindha
yaemavaikarai
Palloar
uvandha
uvahai
(Aganaanooru 42: 9 -11)
In
this
context
one
is
also
reminded
of
the
felicitous
expression
of
Apparswamigal
describing
the
benevolent
rich
man
as
the
full-to-the
brim
village
lake:
'Aeri
niraindhanaya
selvan
kandaai'
(Appar : Maraikaadu 5)
