Azhukkaaru daiyaankan aakkam pol nirkum
Ozhukam ilaan kan kudi.
The family of one without conduct stands like the prosperity of the envious — apparent but soon gone.
ஒழுக்கமில்லாதவனின் குடும்பம், பொறாமைக்காரனின் செல்வம் போல் தோற்றமாத்திரமாக நிற்கும்.
A family (kudi) without moral conduct appears to stand but will soon collapse — like the apparent prosperity of the envious person, which looks real but has no genuine foundation. Only conduct provides the sustainable foundation for family flourishing; without it, even apparent prosperity crumbles.
