Abstract

The Ettutthokai (The Eight Anthologies) and the Pathuppaattu (The Ten Idylls) are considered to be the oldest literary works of the Tamil people. The literature that appeared thousands of years ago beautifully captures the feelings of human beings, their lifestyles, and their habits. If a generation exists, then it can be attributed to the existence of society by adhering to the principle laid down by the previous generation. Any relationship formed through love will last and live on. Similarly, in the Sangam literature, the basis of the true feelings of love is inappropriate love first, only after which the chastity life begins. So, inappropriate love, which forms the basis of love, is something that all creatures have in common. The purpose of this article is to explore the theft of the love route.
