Thirukkural 159

by Thiruvalluvar

துறந்தாரின் தூய்மை உடையர் இறந்தார்வாய் இன்னாச்சொல் நோற்கிற் பவர்.

Turandhaarin thooymai udaiyar iranthaar vaay Innaa sol notrki pavur.

Those who bear harsh words from the mouths of the dead—those who have renounced—possess purity. Those who endure such speech have set themselves free.
