Eendrapozhudhin peridhu uvakkum thanmakkanai
Saandroon enakketta thaay.
A mother rejoices more when she hears her son called 'a person of excellence' than at the moment of giving birth.
தன் மகனை 'சான்றோன்' (சிறந்தவன்) என்று கேட்கும் தாய், அவனை பெற்ற நேரத்தை விட அதிகமாக மகிழ்வாள்.
The mother's joy at birth is immense — but hearing her son called 'saandroon' (a truly excellent person) creates even greater joy. Character recognition exceeds birth joy. This kural says: bringing a person into the world matters less than the person they become. A mother's greatest moment is her child's moral recognition.
