Of being virtuous

4

Aran Valiuruththal

Value of virtue hailed


Sirappueenum selvamum eenum arathinoongu
Aakkam evano uyirkku

What is life's greater
Virtue gives better

Aranthinoongu aakkam illai athanai
Marathalin oongillai kedu

Virtue gives all happiness
If not hollowness

Ollum vagaiyan aravinai ovathay
Chellumvoi ellan cheyal

Wherever you do good
That be mood

Manathukkan maasilanathal anaithu aran
Aagula neera pira

Truthfull in your mind
That good kind

Azhukkaru avaveguli innasol naangum
Izhukka iyandrathu aram

Ills four kinds shedding
Will virtue budding

Andrarivam ennathu aram seigamattrathu
Pondrunkal pondra thunai

Enough of good do
Death kin's woo

Aratharu idhuvena venda sivigai
Poruthanodu oordhan idai

Stetcher bearer, carrier say
Forunates hold sway

Veezhnaal padamai nandrattin agthoruvan
Vaazhnal vazhiadaikkung kal

Reincarnation, sorrow as blocked
Recreation in locked

Arathan varuvathey inbam matrellam
Puraththa pugazhum ila

Good deeds bringforth mirth
Otherwise nothing worth

Seyarpala thorum aranay oruvarku
Uyarpala thorum pazhi

Virtue alone will shine
Rejecting others fine
