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
    நல்வினையால் உண்டாகும் இன்பங்களை இனியவை என்று விரும்பி அனுபவிக்கின்றவர், தீவினை உண்டாகும் காலத்தில் துன்பங்களை அவ்வாறே மகிழுந்து அனுபவிக்காமல் வருந்துவது ஏன்?
  • Translation
    in English
    When good things come, men view them all as gain;
    When evils come, why then should they complain?
  • Meaning
    How is it that those, who are pleased with good fortune, trouble themselves when evil comes, (since both are equally the decree of fate) ?
