Thirukural written by Thiruvalluvar consists of three books, the first book on Aram (the Way or Dharma), the second on Porul (Material or Artha) and the third on Inbam (Joy or Kama).

There are 37 chapters in the first book, the first four called Payiram or Prefactory Matter, the next twenty about Ill-Aram (the householder’s Dharma) and the next thirteen about Turavaram (the path of Renunciation). The second book on Porul contains seventy chapters, the first twenty dealing with Kings and their Duties, the succeeding thirty two chapters with the other matters concerning the State, and next thirteen, with Sundry Concerns. The third book on Inbam contains twenty five chapters, the first seven being on Pre Marital Love (Kalavu) and the next eighteen on Marital Love.

There are 133 chapters in all, each chapter contains ten distichs in the metre known as Kural and the work itself is now called by that name.

    தவம் செய்கின்றவரையும் அவர் வழியில் ஒழுகச் செய்து, தானும் அறநெறியில் தவறாது நின்று வாழ்பவனின் இல்வாழ்க்கையானது, தவம் செய்வாரை விட வன்மை உடையதாகும்.

    Others it sets upon their way, itself from virtue ne'er declines;
    Than stern ascetics' pains such life domestic brighter shines.
  • Meaning
    The householder who, not swerving from virtue, helps the ascetic in his way, endures more than those who endure penance.
