The Life Virtues of Women in Kalithogai

Abstract

Tamil is the world's oldest language. Tamil language has achieved high status and excellence, the reason behind it is the concept of virtue in grammar texts and other literary resources. Tamil peoples are welcomed all around the world because of these things that have been set up in the best way. Many writers still today learn the literary texts of Sangam literature which contains great moral ideas. In particular, Thirukkural, Naladiyar, etc. are considered as the best books. Ettuthogai, a classical Tamil poetic work, each anthology in this work has a story line. In particular, among the eight books of Ettuthogai, Kalithogai is the best book. The book is about the joys and sorrows between husband and wife. Each song in it points out the natural environment and human dignity. The ancient kings approached nature and experienced the romantic feelings of the common people and had sung beautiful songs. ‘Balaikali’ sung by Cheramannan Perungatungo and Mullaikali songs sung by Cholan Nalluruthiran proves it.  Perungadungo's songs are the parables about people's life, and about morality. Perungadungo makes it very clear that it is not possible to find happiness in life only with material things.  In this way, the virtues of the lovers of the Kalithogai has been highlighted.
