Petrirun dhaaraiyum paenaar kayavargal

Utrirun dhaarai ulaivana solluvar

Katrirun dhaarvazhi utrirun dhaaravar

Petrirun dhaarandri yaarperum paerae

EXPLANATION:

(i) People with degrading thoughts who do not respect the person who had attained true knowledge (Knowledge of God), (ii) People who talk of ill🤬 of those knowledgeable persons and their surroundings 

Will go in the way of those people who learnt education👨🏻‍🎓👩‍🎓 alone and try to gain the knowledge of God.

Thirumoolar says that they cannot attain knowledge of God except from those great people who had attained it.
