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.

    ஊக்கம் உடையவன், தன் பகைமேற் செல்லாது காலம் நோக்கி அடங்கியிருப்பது, போர் செய்கின்ற ஆடு தன் பகையைத் தீர்த்துக் கொள்ளப் பாயுமுன் பின்னே கால் வாங்குந்தன்மையை உடையது.

    in English
    The men of mighty power their hidden energies repress,
    As fighting ram recoils to rush on foe with heavier stress.

    The self-restraint of the energetic (while waiting for a suitable opportunity), is like the drawing back of a fighting-ram in order to butt.
