Abstract
The Sangam literature speaks volumes about the cultural values of the Tamils. The Sangam Tamils lived according to the lines "Get the happiness that I have received". There is so much we have to learn from poverty and their way of life. It can also be felt in the Aatrppadai literature. Out of the Pathuppattu books, Thirumurukaattrupadai, Porunarattrupadai, Sirupanaattrupadai, Perumbaanaattrupadai, and Kootharaattrupadai are the five books of the Aatrppadai. Aatrppadai is a separate literary genre in Tamil. ‘Aaru’ is the way. ‘Padai’ means laying down. That is guidance. Just as literature gives importance to man's morality and life, so grammar attaches importance to the order of language. Among them, literature and grammar have been working for ages to organize human life and language together. Words are the root cause of this. This article examines in detail the interjections studied in various texts.
