Serivaarindhu seeymai payakkum arivaarindhu
Aatrin adangap padum.
Knowing the firmness that brings excellence — knowing wisdom — one can achieve restraint on the right path.
செறிவு (உறுதி) அறிந்து சீர்மை கொடுக்கும்; அறிவு அறிந்து வழியில் அடங்கலாம்.
Restraint requires knowing both firmness of purpose (seriv) and wisdom (ariv). With these two knowings, one can restrain oneself properly — not through suppression but through understanding. Restraint based on wisdom is sustainable; restraint based on fear is not.
