Living sometime between the 2nd century BCE and the 8th century CE, his exact dates remain uncertain. The Thirukkural is divided into three sections: Aram (Righteousness), Porul (Wealth), and Inbam (Love), covering ethics, morality, and human relationships. Considered the greatest work of Tamil literature, it has profoundly influenced Tamil culture and is revered as a sacred text by Tamil people worldwide. more
