Thirukkural,was written in Tamil,a classic language of Tamilnadu,South India by Sri Thiruvalluvar.It is one of the greatest works on ethical living.Probably only one of it's kind,it uses the shortest type of couplets to convey the universal truths and practical wisdom.Covering a whole gamut of occupations from a householder to a politician,from a businessman to a monk,Thirukkural has it all for anybody and everybody. A most revered scripture the contents are of great benefit to every one in the universe. Thirukkural is organised into three sections aram(virtue), porul (realities of life) and inbam(pleasures experienced by a man and a woman in the course of their relationship). Chapters 1 to 38 deal with aram and are classified as Arathuppaal. Chapters 39 to 108 address Porul. Chapters 109 to 133(Inbathuppal) deal with inbam. It is claimed that Thirukkural is based on the canonical dharma, artha and kama trivarga articulated in the Sanskritic classical texts.[9] It is, also, presumed that if one leads life according to ethical principles set out in the text, the fourth Purushartha - moksha or veedu(in Tamil) or salvation will be automatically achieved.[10]
