வேறுபாடு கருதாது பொருள் தருவார் எவரையும் தழுவும் பாலியல் தொழிலாளரின் மெல்லிய தோள்கள், அறிவற்ற கீழ்மக்கள் புகுந்து மூழ்கும் நரகம் ஆகும்.

விலைமகளை விரும்பி அவள் பின்னால் போவதற்கும் ``நரகம்'' எனச் சொல்லப்படும் சகதியில் விழுவதற்கும் வேறுபாடே இல்லை

ஒழுக்க வரையரை இல்லாத பொது மகளிரின் மெல்லிய தோள், உயர்வில்லாத கீழ்மக்கள் ஆழ்ந்து கிடக்கின்ற நரகமாகும்.

The delicate shoulders of prostitutes with excellent jewels are a hell into which are plunged the ignorant base

This Thiru Kural verse, Kural 919, offers a socio-moral commentary on the consequences of indulging in illicit relationships with women who sell their affection for money, often referred to as prostitutes. The verse metaphorically describes the delicate, jewel-adorned shoulders of these women as a perilous pit or hell where the morally weak and ignorant individuals fall into. The verse underscores the dangers of being seduced by the physical allure of such women, which is symbolized by the 'delicate shoulders' and 'excellent jewels'. These symbols are used to represent the external beauty and materialistic allure that can be deceptive and destructive for those who lack discernment and moral strength. The verse warns that those who succumb to such temptations, typically the morally weak and ignorant, end up in a metaphorical hell, signifying a state of moral degradation, societal disapproval, and potential self-destruction. The 'hell' here could be interpreted as a life riddled with guilt, shame, and regret, or it could also refer to societal consequences such as ostracization, ruin, and loss of reputation. In essence, this verse serves as a moral caution against indulging in immoral relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-control, moral strength, and discernment in avoiding the pitfalls of transient physical allure and materialistic temptations.
