Thirukkural and Tamil
Songs
Thirukural is an important work of
Tamil literature by Thiruvalluvar
written in a poetic form called Kural
or couplets expounding various
aspects of life.
While most scholars place him
during 100-300 BCE, there are a few
who consider him to have lived c.
30 BCE. Thirukural contains 1330
couplets divided into 133 chapters
of 10 couplets each.
Each couplet consists of seven
words, with four words on the first
line and three on the second. It is
sometimes claimed that
Thiruvalluvar wrote more than 1330
couplets, and that the rest of the
work has gone missing and also that
some of the verses were later
included in the compilation.
