Tirukkural-On Virtue-Family Life-Kural 47

My
translation
of
this
Kural
is
based
on
Rajaji's:
The
householder
who
by
right
conduct
has
made
a
success
of
life
Is the best of all of aspirants of virtue (Aram).
The basic 'Aram' (virtue) of all is really the householder's as all other aspirants to virtue depend on him ultimately. The two important expressions here are 'Iyalpinaan' and 'Muyalvaarul'. The first projects an amplification of the manner in which the householder should live his life, along the path of love ad virtue outlined in Kurals 44 and 45; while the second refers to all aspirants for the state of 'Aram', to whichever category they belong.
This is the generally accepted interpretation of the latter expression, but Kalingar alone would explain it as referring to the numbers of the three lower orders among the ashramites. It is not necessary to confine aspirants of virtue among these three groups alone. They may be found among these groups alone. They may be found among others too.
