Thirukural
Description
The Thirukkural is one of the most important works in the Tamil language. This is reflected in some of the other names by which the text is given by such as Tamil marai (Tamil Vedas); poyyamozhi (words that never fail); and Deiva nool (divine text).
The work is dated to sometime between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century BC and is considered to precede Manimekalai and Silapathikaram, since they both acknowledge the Kural text.
