Abstract

Kurunthogai is One of the eight lesser books of Sangam literature. This book is the foremost book quoted by many commentators. Our Sangam scholars have used words such as love, lust, friendship, grace, mercy, humility, charity, charity, humanity, etc., to express the substance of love from one intelligence to six senses. In that sense, even though the words love, lust, friendship, and grace have been used to denote love in the short volume, in the short songs, when the leader uses the words of love towards the leader in the statement, when the leader uses the words of love towards others in the statement, when the leader uses the words of love towards other beings, the words of love, such as love, lust, friendship, grace, etc., depend on the place, according to the times, and according to the context. It can be seen that the Sangam scholars have used them in the short volume as words of meaning.
