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
    ஒரு செயலைச் செய்யத் தொடங்குமுன், 'இச்செயல் செய்வதற்குக் கடுமையானது' என்று எண்ணிச் சோர்வடையாதிருத்தல் வேண்டும். அச்செயலுக்கான முயற்சி பெருமையைக் கொடுக்கும்.

    Say not, 'Tis hard', in weak, desponding hour,
    For strenuous effort gives prevailing power.
  • Meaning
    Yield not to the feebleness which says, "this is too difficult to be done"; labour will give the greatness (of mind) which is necessary (to do it).
