In the songs of Pattinaththar, there are so many songs that exactly picturize the worldly nature, the liveliness of the people and their hearts.
"அறந்தான் இயற்றும் அவனிலுங்
aranthaan iyatrum avanilung
. . கோடி அதிகம் இல்லம்
..koadi athigam illam
துறந்தான்; அவனின் சதகோடி
thuranthaan; avanin sathakoadi
. . உள்ளத் துறவுடையோன்;
..ullath thuravudaiyoan;
மறம் தான் அறக்கற்று அறிவோடு
maram thaan arakkatru arivoadu
. . இருந்துஇரு வாதனையற்று;
..irunthuiru vaathanaiyatru
இருந்தான் பெருமையை என்சொல்லு
irunthaan perumaiyai ensollu
. . வேன்? கச்சி ஏகம்பனே!
..vaen? kachchi yegambanae!"
The person who lives a family life by following so many ethical codes of conduct is the best one. But than him the person who has left the family life is even more noble. He is great than the person who is a family man.
Than the one who has left the family, the person who has got the left the ideas and thoughts of the family life from his mind is even more noble. Person without any thoughts in his minds and living without selfishness is even more noble.
Pattinaththar says, "I will say who is the person with most greatness. Listen to it. Person who have learnt the education that has no crime, being honest and following ethical codes of conduct and doing duties without thinking of good and bad outcomes from it, is the most great and noble person."
