Abstract

In Tamil literature, various authors have given the world the experience of the phenomenon they witnessed before the Sangam period. A great contribution to understanding the life of the people of the Sangam period is the Sangam literary texts, the Eighth and the Tenth. It can be seen that in the lives of the people of the Sangam period, there was a life of love both internally and externally, and an external life of bravery and generosity. It can be seen that most of these literatures are based on the life of the upper caste people. After that, about eighteen books, copies, devotional literature, short stories, novels, short stories, simple works such as today's Aikkoo, Kandiyu, Limairkoo appeared and today many literatures have come to be popular among the people. Over time, people have lost their lives by prioritizing the economy for a life of pleasure. Earlier stories, satsangs and dramas were held in every village. But today, no one is ready to even listen to advice stories from others. Therefore, poems and stories have become readable in a few minutes. In today's times, poets are doing a bit of a dismay to give ideas to people through literature. Thus, in the Gandharvan era, various literatures were created with many theories in mind, but Gandharvan presented his work to the world by putting forward many theories.
