Abstract

The literature that appears in each period provides various life ideas to the people of that period. The law books summarize the perfect principles required for a human life driven by the mind, language, and truths. These jurisprudence books speak of the idea that all the people living in the world should live happy lives. Most of the Sathakams (A Miniature genre of literature consisting of a hundred hymns) are moral pieces of literature that deal with ethical ideas. The Sathakam literature spelled out the different kinds of virtues for man to live. The virtues which may be found in the Sathakam literature, are 1. the ethics of individual life, 2. Family life ethics, and 3. Social life ethics can be divided into three categories. Among them, this article deals with the ethics of individual life contained in the Thandalaiyar Satakam.
