If
the
wife
possesses
a
noble
soul,
what
more
does
man
want?
If
she
lacks
this,
what
is
there
in
life
for
him?
This is Valluvar"s balanced and emphatic way of saying that wifely virtues alone make for a happy home. If the wife is virtuous the family has everything, otherwise they have nothing.
A parallel is found in the bible:
'
A
virtuous
woman
is
a
crown
to
her
husband,
but
she
who
brings
shame
is
like
rottenness
in
his
bones".
(Proverb
12:4)
