தாம் பிறந்த குடும்பத்தை நல்ல குடும்பமாக உயர்த்த விரும்புபவர் சோம்பலைச் சோம்பலாக எண்ணி முயற்சி செய்க.

குலம் சிறக்க வேண்டுமானால், சோம்பலை ஒழித்து, ஊக்கத்துடன் முயற்சிகளை மேற்கொள்ள வேண்டும்

தம் குடியைச் சிறப்புடைய குடியாக விளங்குமாறு செய்ய விரும்புகின்றவர் சோம்பலைச் சோம்பலாகக் கொண்டு முயற்சியுடையவராய் நடக்க வேண்டும்.

Let those, who desire that their family may be illustrious, put away all idleness from their conduct

The Kural 602 emphasizes the importance of diligence and effort towards enhancing the reputation and stature of one's family. If one aspires for their family to be distinguished and respected, they must eradicate all forms of laziness from their behaviour. The verse advises individuals to adopt a proactive and industrious attitude, rather than being idle or passive. Laziness is seen as a detrimental trait that hinders the progress and growth of a family's stature, and therefore, must be eliminated. This Kural imparts a universal lesson that success and respect are attained not merely by desire, but through consistent effort and hard work. It reinforces the idea that one's family reputation is a reflection of one's actions and attitudes, and therefore it's important to act responsibly and diligently. In essence, Thiruvalluvar advocates for active engagement in one's responsibilities and duties as the path to uplift one's family reputation and achieve success.
