'Sacred' Kurral of Tiruvalluva-Nayanar

'Sacred' Kurral of Tiruvalluva-Nayanar
The 'Tirukkural', written over 2000 years ago by the sage Thiruvalluvar, is a foundational text of Tamil literature. This work consists of 1,330 couplets divided into three sections: virtue, wealth, and love, addressing various aspects of life and ethics. Rev. G.U. Pope's metric translation aims to faithfully convey the original's rhythm and meaning. The Kural has influenced notable figures such as Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi, and is celebrated for its profound wisdom and universal themes.
