Description:In a scholarly introduction to his English translation of Nālaṭiyār, Rev. G.U. Pope observes that Tirukkuṟaḷ and Nālaṭiyār are expressive of hunger and thirst after righteousness for which the ancient Tamil society deserves the highest praise. Of the didactic works in Tamil, Nālaṭiyār is next only in greatness to Tirukkuṟaḷ and serving as mutual commentaries, they may be read as companion pieces, as indispensable works on the art of living.

The next twenty-six chapters are on wealth and deal with varied aspects of life such as rulership, happiness, suffering, ill-will, and women-chaste and unchaste. The last chapter constituting the third part of the book deals with the salient features of love.
