ஒருவனுக்கு நற்குண நற்செயல்களை உடைய மனைவியே அழகு என்று அறிந்தோர் கூறுவர். அந்த அழகிற்கு ஏற்ற அணிகலன்கள் நல்ல பிள்ளைகளைப் பெறுவதே.

குடும்பத்தின் பண்பாடுதான் இல்வாழ்க்கையின் சிறப்பு; அதற்கு மேலும் சிறப்பு நல்ல பிள்ளைகளைப் பெற்றிருப்பது

மனைவியின் நற்பண்பே இல்வாழ்க்கைக்கு மங்கலம் என்று கூறுவர்: நல்ல மக்களைப் பெறுதலே அதற்கு நல்லணிகலம் என்று கூறுவர்.

The excellence of a wife is the good of her husband; and good children are the jewels of that goodness

This Kural, verse 60, emphasizes the importance and the value of a virtuous wife and good children in a person's life. The first line signifies that the true prosperity or auspiciousness of a household lies in the virtue of the wife. A wife with good character and virtues brings happiness, peace and good fortune to her husband and their household. Her wisdom, compassion, and integrity reflect on her husband's well-being, making his life more meaningful and fulfilled. The second line further adds that the true jewels or adornments of this happiness and prosperity brought by a virtuous wife are the good children. Good children here don't imply just well-behaved or obedient children but those who grow up to be morally upright, kind, and responsible individuals. They are the living testaments of the virtues inculcated by their mother in the household. These children are the ones who carry forward the legacy of their parents and bring honor and respect to their family. In essence, this verse highlights that a virtuous wife and well-raised children are the true wealth and pride of a family.
