The verse 41 from Thiru Kural emphasizes the responsibilities and duties of a householder. It states that a true householder is someone who provides unwavering support to the virtuous people belonging to three groups - parents, spouse, and children. The verse imparts the importance of moral and ethical support in a family setup. The householder is not just an individual who provides material comfort but also a moral backbone who aids in the righteous path. The three groups mentioned in this verse are significant. Parents, who are the originators of life, are the first to receive support, acknowledging the principle of gratitude and respect towards elders. The spouse, who shares the journey of life, is the second, emphasizing the importance of companionship and mutual support. Lastly, children, who are the future bearers of the family legacy, reaffirming the duty of parents to provide guidance and nurture their growth. This verse highlights the cultural value of family in Tamil society, where a family is not just a social construct but a spiritual and moral unit. Every member has their responsibilities, and the householder's duty is to ensure that this unit thrives in righteousness, thus contributing to the overall goodness and integrity of the society.
