“ The benefit which a father should confer on his son is to give him precedence in the assembly of the learned.
Kural-68
Their children's wisdom greater than their own confessed,
Through the wide world is sweet to every human breast.
That their children should possess knowledge is more pleasing to all men of this great earth than to themselves.
Kural-69
When mother hears him named 'fulfill'd of wisdom's lore,'
Far greater joy she feels, than when her son she bore.
The mother who hears her son called "a wise man" will rejoice more than she did at his birth. ”
