Abstract
The Sangam literature has divided human life into Agam and Puram. Agam's life is described by Agam songs and their heroic life by Puram songs. The people of the Sangam age organized their lives with land first. In the nature of the five kinds of lands, the people lived on the basis of themes such as their village, deity, occupation, entertainment, etc. The Agam books have told us about love, illicit marriage, virtuous marriage, etc. Sangam literature is a rich repository of life ideas. These have made the life, desires, and feelings of the people of the Sangam age a perfect poem. In the Agam songs of the Sangam literature, there are innumerable moral concepts such as love, domesticity, chastity, etc., which stand as a moral touch to the woman towards her friend, her friend towards the nurse, the nurse towards the mother, and the mother towards the father, as well as to the brothers. When approached from an aesthetic point of view, they are enjoyable. Thus, the purpose of this article is to examine the aesthetic aspects of Kurinjippaattu.
