Katradhanaala aaya payanen kol vaalarivann
Thaal thozhaaar ennum nalam.
What benefit has one gained from learning, if one does not worship the feet of the Pure One (God) who is perfect wisdom?
தூய அறிவுடையவனாகிய கடவுளின் திருவடிகளைத் தொழாதவர்களுக்கு கல்வி கற்றதனால் என்ன பயன்?
Learning and education have no ultimate value if they do not lead the learner to worship and devotion. Valluvar says God is 'Vaalarivan' — Pure/Perfect Wisdom — and true learning should culminate in recognizing this divine intelligence.
