Thirukkural-On Wealth-On Education-Kural 396
Karranaith thoorum arivu.
The
wells
in
the
sand
abound
with
springs
of
water
as
one
digs
deep,
So
with
appropriate
education,
knowledge
gets
wider
and
deeper.
The deeper one digs on the sand-beds, generally on the dry bed of a river, the greater will be the flow of water. Apparently, Valluvar must have been familiar with the process of digging sand – wells on the dry beds of the rivers, like Vaigai and Palar, to secure drinking water. This analogy, the poet uses with good effect to draw a parallel to the cultivation of the mind, through a process of extensive and intensive education.
Another possible way of interpreting the Kural is that, unless you put your hand to it, the sand-well will not produce water; in like manner, acquisition of knowledge and its development can only be the result of a the application of one"s mind. Physical idleness will not produce water; mental idleness similarly will surely not produce knowledge.
Kambaramayanam

this
idea
of

in
the
following
line,

“Noolvaraith
