The Tirukkural, Naladiyar, and Thirumoolar's Tamil Moovayiram, which emerged in Tamil Nadu, were composed to preach ethics in line with the traditional moral philosophy. The Naladi Naanuru holds a prestigious position in Tamil classical literature, after the Tirukkural. Following this, during the Pallava period, devotional literature arose to promote ethics and spread religious ideals. The ethical contemplations found in the Naladiyar, Thirumoolar's Moovayiram (which emerged during the Bhakti movement), and the verses of Vemana in Telugu advocate virtues such as upholding righteousness, truthfulness, and the indispensability of honesty. When these ethical principles are examined from a broader perspective, the underlying unity and moral approaches embedded in Indian culture become evident. Therefore, this study aims to compare and analyze the ethical messages found in the works of Naladiyar, Thirumoolar's Tamil Moovayiram and Vemana.

The Reflection that Conveys the Essence of Kalyanji's Charisma

It is a common notion that the forms of literature vary according to the changes in time and the imagination of the poet or creator. When we look for the reasons for such changes, political transformations often take precedence. Literature has transcended the state of being sung by a singer and sung about a subject, to the extent that after the religious texts that can pierce the ears were composed, it has journeyed through the minor literary figures post the country gaining independence, preparing itself for a new journey. Just as a cut tree sprouts and branches out to expand into a large tree, a language has evolved into many forms such as poetry, novels, plays, short stories, and essays, creating its own path and destiny. Even if there are a thousand words to say, in today’s era, expressing life is like a seed for the earth, and for humans, it is poetry. Keeping the great tree hidden within is like burying a great thought within oneself; that is poetry. For centuries, themes like inner life, outer life, righteousness, and devotion have sustained poetry, which tells me that everything related to life is indeed a theme. In that regard, in Kalyanji's poetry collection 'Uruppalingu', some poems reflect the essence of life.

The relationship formed between men and women among the people involved in the production of human society is very important in the continuous life of human society. Even though it is seen as a relationship resulting from marriages, as incestuous marriages and extramarital marriages in the present day, these incestuous marriages have evolved into various changes in the production systems that have emerged in different periods and have reached the present state in accordance with the various changes that have occurred. The purpose of the study is to examine how the elements of marriages from the early period to the present are recorded from a materialistic perspective in the novels of the writer R. Murugavel and to compare them with the present.
