{Division: 1 - Ethics ; Section: 02 - Family Ethics; Chapter: 006 - Goodness of Life-partner; Kural Number: 0059}

புகழ்புரிந்த இல்லிலோர்க்கு இல்லை இகழ்வார்முன் 
ஏறுபோல் பீடு நடை

Without having an efficient wife, one
can't walk like lion

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: If one do not have an efficient wife, who brings glory to a family; then, they cannot walk like a lion - in front of others.

(Likewise...)

If one do not possess ethics, which keeps the heart peaceful; then, they cannot argue like intellectuals - against the critics.
