Avoiding Vulgarity
oi-Priya Devi
By Priya Devi
Ennap paduvathon ranru.
Avarice,
which
is
the
denial
of
all
charitable
inclinations
in
man,
Is
not
just
vice;
it
is
the
worst.
V
V
S
Iyer
would
say:
“Close-fisted
parsimony
is
not
a
vice
to
be
classed
with
other
vices;
it
formeth
a
class
apart."
The expression 'Patrullam' is a telling one describing the grasping attitude of the greedy miser.
The word 'errullum' is a poetic distortion of the full word 'evarrullum', meaning among all these vices.
'Kambaramayanam' provides an effective parallel as follows:
“Ullaparum
pinipiraa
uloabam
onrumae
Allaparum
gunangalai
azikku
maaru
poal"
(Kambaramayanam;
Thaadakai,
43)
