Abstract
Scholars call a theory a concept (ideology). The theory is the nature of the principle. The principle that we have accepted in practical life. Its standard of living is that of one for one. Therefore, it is said that chastity is the life in which only a man and a woman live together through the ritual of marriage, which is a social event. Thus, principles are formed by the clarity of thought of each principle, by acceptance, and by the social standpoint. Wikipedia lists 21 categories as theoretical categories. Among the distinct theories of Tamil, there are four theories, namely: 1. The Theory of Consciousness, 2. The Theory of Equality, 3. The Theory of Proposition, and 4. The Theory of Epistemology. One of them is the fly theory. One of them is the doctrine of charity. Charity is a small help that is unexpectedly given to the poor in return. The people of the Sangam age believed that the only way the poor could accumulate wealth was to satisfy their hunger. Charity is different from a gift because it is an endowment. All other gifts have a tendency to expect benefits. The society of the Sangam age was changing from a tribal society to a property society. In Sangam literature, it can be seen that the chieftains of small lands associated with the hunting business enjoyed providing food mixed with meat, toddy, and clothing to the Panars, Koothars, Porunars, and Viraliyars who came to them. The kings of smaller lands and chieftains considered this kind of hospitality to be great. Among them, this article examines the way in which the charity trait occurs in the Puranananooru.
