Abstract

Sangam literature is the foremost and the oldest literature in Tamil. Sangam literature is an ark of ideas that depicts many aspects of life like love, valor, war, business and agriculture of ancient Tamils. Sangam literature is divided into two categories as song and sum. Although the song books explain the good deeds of Tamil people, the sum books also explain the good deeds in the unique way. When a person leads a virtuous life, it will bring an everlasting happiness. Same way a person experiences boring life when he leads his life in a non-virtuous way. Therefore, there is no doubt that having good moral behavior is the best thing for man. This article reveals the moral thoughts that has been followed in the lives of ancient Tamils through Ainkurunuru, which is one among the Ettuthogai.
