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.

    தன் மனைவியை விரும்பி, அவள் சொற்படி நடப்பவன் சிறந்த அறப்பயனை அடையமாட்டான். முயற்சி செய்பவர், அதற்குத் தடை என்று விரும்பாத பொருளும் அதுவே.
  • Translation
    in English
    Who give their soul to love of wife acquire not nobler gain;
    Who give their soul to strenuous deeds such meaner joys disdain.
  • Meaning
    Those who lust after their wives will not attain the excellence of virtue; and it is just this that is not desired by those who are bent on acquiring wealth.
