வீழ்நாள் படாமை நன்றாற்றின் அஃதொருவன்
வாழ்நாள் வழியடைக்கும் கல்
Transliteration:
Vīḻnāḷ paṭā’amai naṉṟāṟṟiṉ aḥtoruvaṉ
Vāḻnāḷ vaḻiyaṭaikkum kal
English Translation:
If one does not let a single day pass without doing good,
Those deeds block the passage to rebirth.
Meaning:
Couplet emphasizes the power of consistent virtuous actions. Each day of good deeds lays down a barrier that prevents the recurrence of the soul.
