தம்மில் இருந்து தமது பாத்து உண்டற்றால்
அம்மா அரிவை முயக்கு. (83)
Thus we see that this part of Kural is completely devoted to the psychological development of the conjugal love which is of fundamental importance to lead a virtuously ideal life on earth and after.
As the result of the false propaganda of a section of people unfortunately ill disposed towards the Tamil literature and its antiquity, the study of Kamalhupal has been deliberately neglected and wantonly ignored. It is really a wonder when learned ascetics like Rev. G. U- Pope and other scholars of his order express their deep regret for their inability to grasp fully the subject matter so beautifully dealt with, how these people have come forward to inveigh against Valluvar in public and on platforms. I therefore feel that I must be a little elaborate in this part of my speech.
