திருக்குறள்

Thirukkural

"எழுத்து அறிவித்தவன் இறைவன்"





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.

திருக்குறள் (Thirukkural)  என்னும் உன்னத நூல் உலகப்புகழ் பெற்ற தமிழ் மொழி இலக்கியமாகும். ‘அகர முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் ஆதி பகவன் முதற்றே உலகு’ என்று தொடங்கி, உலகத் தத்துவங்கள் அனைத்தையும் ‘திருக்குறள்’ என்னும் நூல் இரண்டடிக் குறளில் மக்களுக்கு எடுத்துச் சொல்கிறது.
 
திருக்குறளை இயற்றியவர் கி.மு மூன்றாம் நூற்றாண்டுக்கும் கி.மு ஒன்றாம் நூற்றாண்டுக்கும் இடையில் வாழ்ந்தவராக இன்றைய ஆய்வாளர்களால் கருதப்படும் திருவள்ளுவர் ஆவார்.
