Panuval: Vasippum Meelvasippum Purananurum Pazhanthamizhar Manavunarvum - Meel Vasippu

Abstract

The dignity cherished by the people of the Sangam Age was a quality, which was accepted willingly by the people of the Sangam Age even if they had to sacrifice their lives not for the sake of food and other necessities of life, but for the preservation of high ideals. Anger towards others for selfish reasons is not shame. An unparalleled virtue does not harm one's family by committing a blameless act. In this respect, the angry speeches of the poets of the Sangam age show their courage and not as an expression of their emotion. In conclusion, of this article, we venture to conclude that the act of some of the kings of the Sangam Age, ashamed of external wounds and hating the shame of living shamelessly with the lust for water at the hands of the enemy is honour and that is the best virtue
