Abstract
The Sangam literature proclaims the state in which man has attained civilization and has gradually developed in culture. In that way, Sangam literature also highlights the ancient history of living in land-based ethnic groups based on occupation. In such a way, through Mullaikali in Kalithokai that appeared in the late Sangam period, this article is about the history of the shepherds, their culture, profession, taming a bull, customs, etc. This article is limited to the study of Mullaikali, which is composed of only 17 songs in Kalithikai. Even today in the land system of Tamil Nadu, the Aayars are involved in cattle rearing in the forest areas. As proof, the people living near Kalakkadu and Mundanthurai forests in Tirunelveli district are engaged in animal husbandry and plowing.
