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.

  • விளக்கம்
    பிறர் தீமை செய்த போது அதைப் பொறுத்துக் கொள்ளாமல் அவரைத் தண்டித்தவரை அறிவுடையோர் மதியார்; அதனைப் பொறுத்துக் கொண்டவரைப் பொன் போன்று உயர்வாக மதிப்பர்.

    Who wreak their wrath as worthless are despised;
    Who patiently forbear as gold are prized.
