Abstract
The Tamil language can be said to be the oldest of the world's languages. Tamil literature deals with various aspects of life. They contain a variety of literature, grammar, stories, essays, poems, proverbs, etc. Moreover, the Sangam literature depicts everyday life. From the Sangam age to the present period, a variety of writers and books have appeared. The Sangam literature consists of a large number of sections viz., Ettutthokai, Patthuppaattu, and Pathinen Kilkanakku books. Though there is Akam and Puram in the Ettutthokai of Sangam literature, in the third of Ainkurunooru ten songs to each of five thinais, that is five hundred songs are found. All of these songs were sung by different poets at different times and in different contexts. Though all the Pulavars are Tamils, they all belong to different periods. The Tamil language can vary from time to time. Therefore, the vocabulary of each scholar can vary. It was the Ettutthokai that beautifully illustrated the conditions of life of the people of the Sangam age and compiled them as well as illustrated them clearly. Moreover, the Ettutthokai volume of books has shown the true feelings of the people of the Sangam age such as valour, love, justice, benevolence, humanity, pride, and warmth. In Sangam literature, the imaginary lines about love are classified as Akam and the fields of life such as heroism, love, charity, etc., are classified as Puram.
