இன்ப துன்பம் ஏதானாலும் பங்குடையாள் சம்சாரம்

Is a woman, as per moral essence.

தந்தை தாயின் பேருக்குன்னால் தாழ்வு வர நடக்காதே
சம்பத்து வந்தாலும் நீ தற்பெருமை அடிக்காதே
சந்ததமும் கணவன் சொல்லை தடுத்து முகம் சுளிக்காதே
சந்ததமும் கணவன் சொல்லை தடுத்து முகம் சுளிக்காதே
சமயம் தான் கிடைக்கும்போது தலையணை மந்திரம் ஜபிக்காதே..
Do not act in a way that lowers
The great name of your father and mother.
Even if wealth comes to you,
Do not boast or show self-pride.
Always, to your husband's words,
Do not refuse with a scowl on your face.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This auspicious song from Manjal Mahimai (1959) serves as a traditional set of ethical guidelines (Araneri) for newly married couples and family members. Udumalai Narayanakavi outlines essential principles for leading a happy, harmonious marital and familial life centered around love, mutual respect, and selfless devotion. The lyrics advise the bride to hold her husband in highest esteem, treat her brother-in-law as her own child, respect her in-laws, and maintain warm relationships with all relatives. It also reminds the couple that a wife is an equal partner sharing both joy and sorrow, and cautions against arrogance during prosperity, disrespecting parents, or using pillow-talk to create family rifts.
