This is a standard work of Tamil aphorisms and instruction that they believed if followed truly, will bring them happiness. It was written by the poet sage Thiruvallavar. It gives its advice in 133 chapters and the each chapter deals with a different theme. The chapters have 10 aphorisms each and they, among others, offer advice on self control, on the fear of sin, securing the friendship of great men, against idleness, on false friendship, on abstaining from drink, on modesty etc. Thiruvallavar was born 30 years before Jesus and was a weaver by profession.
