With honest means one should share with others And then for himself, that'll make his descendants prosper. *** Wife: What Tiruvalluvar says here? Husband: A householder should avoid Other's blame of any kind, Earn his livelihood honestly Help others and then for him ‘Self.' If he follows this rule His descendants will Surely prosper well, And this he wants to tell. If one earns by unfair means And share it with others, It's not an act of charity But an act of vanity. *** திருக்குறள் -THIRUKKURAL அதிகாரம் 5 - இல்வாழ்க்கை CHAPTER 5 - MARRIED LIFE *** 05/05. அன்பும் அறனும் உடைத்தாயின் இல்வாழ்க்கை பண்பும் பயனும் அது. 05/05. anbhum arranum udaiththaayin illvazhkkai Pannbhum payanum adhu. 05/05. Loving the family and helping others That life will shine and be beneficial also. *** Wife: Family comes first and then others. Husband: What he says, love your family, And then do your service to others. Husband should take into confidence His wife also in helping others.

If one leads family life doing charity, Is there any more benefit in other ways? *** Wife: I agree helping others is Part of a family life, but how far? Husband: He says, first of all Lead a family life well, And then start helping others Which is more appreciable. Whatever you may achieve By other means of services Will not carry more merit Than what the poet means. It's the help by joint effort Of Wife and husband That carries more weight And will surely please God. ***
