Avarice,

is
the
denial
of
all
charitable

Iyer
would
say:
“Close-fisted
parsimony
is
not
a
vice
to
be
classed
with
other
vices;

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)
