Abstract

Human race is undergoing various changes as time moves on. Literature is a tool to reflect all these changes. During Sangam period Tamil people were well civilized. Famous text of Sangam period such as Ettuthokai and Pathupaatu shows us the civilization of Tamil people. The writers of those period witnessed the culture, civilization and life styles of that time and distilled it into literature as poems. Irrigation systems, agricultural development, political law, hospitality and faith are very important in these songs. The poetic tradition carried out by Sangam literature is based on Thinai theory. The article overall examines the human virtues in Purananuru.
