The Moral Doctrine of Manuneethi Chola in Sekkizhar's Periyapuranam

Abstract

Manuneeti Chola's past history is that a king should rule without any sense of self-interest by treating all beings equally without fail in justice. The rule of Manuneeti Chola is a great example of the democratic, communist, and other modes of governance of many countries of the world, both in the present and in the future. Purity of mind comes from penance. The purity of action comes from action. Good deeds come from virtue. Punishment for a mistake done unknowingly is the justice that the power of God implies. Morality is the true worship of God. This article contains an account of the events of the great king Manuneeti Chola who lived his life without missing morality. Sekkizhar's Periyapuranam, written in the 12th century, describes the art, etiquette, culture, discipline, and way of life of the Tamils. The purpose of this article is to explain the divine virtues of Manuneeti Chola. In this article, the book Periyapuranam, the author of the book, and the moral doctrine of Manu Neethi Chola, who originated in the Tamil Chola tradition, which is the epitome of world justice, are analyzed.
