\nnever indulge in the folly of desiring another man’s wife.
\nKural 142<\/p>\n
Kural 141<\/p>\n
Those who know virtue’s laws and marital rights
\nnever indulge in the folly of desiring another man’s wife.
\nKural 142<\/p>\n
Among those who stand outside virtue, there is no greater fool
\nthan he who stands with a lustful heart outside another’s gate.
\nKural 143<\/p>\n
No different from the dead are those who
\nwickedly desire the wife of a friend.
\nKural 144<\/p>\n
Though a man’s measure be mountainous, what good is it
\nif, without the minutest concern, he takes another’s wife?
\nKural 145<\/p>\n
A man who seduces another man’s wife, knowing she is easy,
\nsuffers a shame that neither dies nor diminishes.
\nKural 146<\/p>\n
Hatred, sin, fear and disgrace–these four
\nnever forsake the man who commits adultery.
\nKural 147<\/p>\n
He is decreed a worthy householder who holds
\nno desire for the womanly charms of another’s wife.
\nKural 148<\/p>\n
The chivalry that does not look upon another’s wife
\nis not mere virtue–it is saintly conduct.
\nKural 149<\/p>\n
In a world encircled by the awesome sea, to whom do good things
\nbelong? To men never impassioned to caress a married woman.
\nKural 150<\/p>\n
Though a man deserts virtue and indulges in vice, he keeps
\nsome decency by not wanting another’s wife’s womanliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
