புகழ்ந்தவை போற்றிச் செயல்வேண்டும் செய்யாது
இகழ்ந்தார்க்கு எழுமையும் இல்

Do admire the renowned things; no benefit
for who forget, in seven births

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The renowned things like "Thirukkural" should be admired and followed; there is no benefit in all seven births, for those who forget to do so.

(Likewise…)

The splendid things like "Infant" should be felt and experienced; there is no happiness in all seven tunes, for those who fail to do so.
