About the Book:-Through this rare work, the author has explored new avenues. A standard work of Tamil aphorisms and instruction that they believed, if followed truly, will bring them happiness. The Tirukkural (literally Sacred Verses), or shortly the Kural, is a classic Tamil language text, considered one of the greatest works on ethics and morality, it is known for its universality and secular nature. Its authorship is traditionally attributed to Valluvar, also known in full as Thiruvalluvar, born 30 BC, and was a weaver by profession. The Kural is traditionally praised with epithets and alternate titles such as ‘the Tamil Veda’ and ‘the divine book.’ It emphasizes non-violence and moral vegetarianism as virtues for an individual. The book contains 133 chapters and each chapter deals with a different theme with advice. The chapters have 10 aphorisms each and they, among others, offer advice on self-control, on the fear of sin, securing the friendship of great men, against idleness, on false friendship, on abstaining from drink, on modesty etc. The book is the product of the extensive study of Tamil language. The subject matter of the book is illuminating and delicate which makes this discourse an indispensable one and immensely good for common readers. About the Authors:-William Henry Drew was a 19th-century Christian missionary to India who rendered the Tirukkural into English. However, he translated only the first 630 couplets of the Tirukkural. He rendered the Tirukkural into English in prose form and first published it in 1840. Of the 133 chapters of the Kural text, he translated only the first 63 chapters. The first edition also included the original Tamil text, Parimelazhagar's commentary, Ramanuja Kavirayar's amplification of the commentary, in addition to Drew's English prose renderings. Drew's rendering closely followed the commentary of Parimelalakar and thus almost remained close to the original work of Valluvar. The Title 'Thirukkural written/authored/edited by W. H.
