Thirukkural-On Wealth-On Kingship-Kural 384
Maanam udaiyadhu arasu
The
honour
of
kingship
consists
in
the
unswerving
rectitude
of
Dharma.
Eschewing
conduct
inconsistent
with
virtue
and
valour.
The word (aran ilukkaadhu) in this Kural stands for the punctilious performance of kingly duties with absolute rectitude, in accordance with the Royal Dharma, which the author of Puram had in mind when he wrote:
“Maanda
araneri
mudhatrae
arasin
kotram"
(Puram
5)
The
term
'allavai'
refers
to
the
king"s
function
of
dealing
firmly
and
deterrently
with
crime
and
anti-social
acts.
It may also be recalled here that the kings of the Tamil country believed in very high standards of valour and rectitude as regards personal combat and warfare and firmly eschewed behaviour that smacked of cowardice and lack of moral or ethical values.
The story of Manu Needhi Cholan brings out forcibly, how the monarch was willing to sacrifice his only begotten son, in order to render justice to the cow, which had lost its cherished calf at the wheel of the prince"s chariot, and sought justice from the great Chola-king, by ringing his bell with its horns. (Aaraaychchi mani).
