These love quarrels make love enjoyable and the love subsequently makes their physical union sublime.
ஊடுதல் காமத்திற்கு இன்பம் அதற்கு இன்பம்
கூடி முயங்கப் பெறின் (127)
Thus we come to the conclusion that sublimation is the sole object and purpose of both the psychical harmony and physical union of the husband and wife of an ideal family, the fundamental unit of the human society.
