Thirukkural
Composed couplets
Connoted every facets
Words of wisdom they're
World needs them forever
Be it a love or life
or when yours in strife
Just go through these verses
which certainly ruin your curses
To cherish the value of friendship
To maintain dignified courtship
To allure the purpose of nature
To discern the importance of water
To deal with the wealth
To take care of one's health
To esteem each and every soul
To govern, rule and control
To fathom the knotty things
To perceive what karma brings
To savor the joy of giving
To grasp the art of living
Do read these 1 1/2 line verses
they indeed have a lot to converse
Penned by Thiruvalluvar some thousands of years ago,
these 1330 couplets of 7 words, still glow;
Translated into many languages
and suitable for people of all ages,
the Thirukkural has words of wisdom;
Read it and shine like colors of spectrum
Wikipedia : The Thirukkural ( 'sacred verses') is a classic Tamil language text consisting of 1,330 short couplets, or kurals.The text is divided into three books with aphoristic teachings on virtue (aram), wealth (porul) and love (inbam), respectively.
Considered one of the greatest works on ethics and morality, it is known for its universality and secular nature.
Its authorship is traditionally attributed to Valluvar, also known in full as Thiruvalluvar. The text has been dated variously from 300 BCE to 5th century CE.
