Abstract

Virtue is cutting out the bad from life and taking only the good. It refines and moralizes human life. The principle of virtue is to make man human. Although man is aware of all the virtues, he is unable to adhere to them under certain circumstances. Thus, the period when he ruled in defiance of justice, righteousness, and honesty was a dark period. As a result, the poets of that time, seeing this, were eager to teach them the virtues through the Pathinenkilkanakku books. They did not have the time to sing about love and war like the poets of the Sangam age. There is not even an environment for that. One of those books, Muthumozhi Kanchi, has been written entirely by Gudalur Kizhar, keeping in mind the doctrine of morality. Therefore, this article deals with the ethical ideas expressed in the Sangam Maruviya Kaalam (Dark period of Sangam) moral book, The Muthumozhi Kanchi.
