பெண்ணின் பெருந்தக்க யாவுள கற்பென்னும் திண்மைஉண் டாகப் பெறின்.

Pennil perunthakka yaavul karpennnum / Tinmaiyun taaakap perin.

What is there of great worth in a woman? Only this: the strength that comes from chastity firmly held. When she possesses this solidity of character, nothing greater remains to be desired.

Virtue is not gendered—it is the architecture of an unshakeable self. A woman's true nobility lies not in ornament or obedience, but in the disciplined integrity of her mind, the one fortress no circumstance can breach.
