Time Theory in Kurunthokai Songs

Abstract

The events of life become literary records. No statement can be explained without pointing to at least one of the three periods of the past, present, and future. All the elements of the poem are special additions to the poem's specialty. In this way, the element of time helps to enhance the subtlety of the poem. The purpose of the term can be realized by understanding the way in which the elements of time are arranged. The Sangam literature deals with the various aspects and values of life, which are divided into Agatthinai and Puratthinai. Tolkappiyam defines the grammar of how Tamil verses should be arranged without breaking the tradition. In this article, it is examined with some evidence how the element of time, which the Tolkappiyar has shown as one of the elements of poetry, has been studied in the Korunthokai volumes. Finally, the element of time is an essential part of the verse, and the special additional style has been explained. The idea that it could be used as an extensive research field has also been put forward.
