நிலத்தோடு நீர் கலந்தாற்போன்ற ஒற்றுமையை உடைய என்னவரோடு ஊடிப் பெறும் இன்பத்தைப் போலத் தேவர்கள் நாட்டு இன்பம் இருக்குமோ?

நிலத்தோடு நீர் கலந்தது போல அன்புடன் கூடியிருக்கும் காதலரிடத்தில் ஊடல் கொள்வதை விடப் புதிய உலகம் வேறொன்று இருக்க முடியுமா?

நிலத்தோடு நீர் பொருந்தி கலந்தாற் போன்ற அன்புடைய காதலரிடத்தில் ஊடுவதை விட இன்பம் தருகின்ற தேவருலம் இருக்கின்றதோ.

Is there a celestial land that can please like the feigned dislike of those whose union resembles that of earth and water?

The verse 1323 of the Thiru Kural speaks about the joy experienced in the playful teasing or feigned dislike that exists between two individuals who share a deep bond of love. The comparison made here is between the inseparable union of earth and water, symbolizing the profound connection between two lovers. The question posed in this verse is rhetorical: "Is there a celestial land that can offer the same pleasure as experienced in the playful banter between two deeply connected individuals?" The verse implies that the joy derived from such a bond, complete with its ups and downs, its teasing and pretending, is so profound that it could surpass even the pleasures of celestial realms. In essence, Valluvar is celebrating the depth and complexity of human relationships, particularly the bond of love, and suggesting that the joy it offers is incomparable. This Kural highlights the beauty in human emotions and interactions, marking them as more pleasurable than even divine experiences. The moral interpretation of this verse emphasizes the importance of cherishing the intimate bonds we form in our lives and the joy they bring, suggesting they are the real treasures to be sought.
