Abstract

Sangam literature occupies a unique place in classical literature and is a mirror that accurately reflects the lives of the people. Both the books, Ettuthozhi and Pathupaattu, are called "Sangam literature." This is also known as the "Pathinenmerkanakku." "Kanakku" means song. "Merkanakku" means a song having a lot of lines. The total number of lines in Sangam literature is 26,350. Agam (1862) and Puram (519) are two of the 2381 songs known from literary histories. The songs on love and war were compiled and named "Sangam literature," which remained extinct in the ocean planet, termite, and time flood. Of the eight volumes of Sangam literature, the book Purananooru contains four hundred (400) verses on external subject matters such as the greeting of God. This book shows the virtues of aesthetics through traditions, governance, way of life, historical elements, mythological stories, warfare, the superiority of friendship, the king’s bravery, and the skill of women.
