Thirukkural-On Avoiding Vulgarity-Kural-459
Avoiding Vulgarity
oi-Priya Devi
By Priya Devi

Admittedly
purity
of
mind
would
lead
to
heaven,
Even
so,
good
associations
provide
strong
support.
Even
the
spiritual
progress
towards
the
ultimate
goal
in
this
life
and
the
next
to
'Mukthi" will
be
considerably
facilitated
and
brightened
by
the
association
of
good,
righteous
and
loyal
friends.
V
V
S
Iyer,
therefore,
translates
the
Kural
as
follows:
“Virtue leadeth unto heaven; and the company of the good steadieth a man in the practice thereof".
K M Balasubramaniam would translate 'Marumai' as the next birth. I prefer the more general interpretation adopted by V V S Iyer of heaven.
