Tholkappiyam's Theory of Love-Theme

To understand the status of life messages in Tamil grammar, the information on the studies of premarital relationships and female chastity through Agatthinai constitutes the best data in this article. In grammatical texts, there is an abundance of information on premarital relationships and female chastity in the love-theme (Agapporul) subject areas. Literature involves grammar within itself. Grammar texts are interpreted as describing the nature of literary material. Literary principles can be seen more clearly and easily in grammar texts than in broader literature. It becomes important to look at the theory and explanations of the agathinai messages as stated in the grammar books before examining them from the literature. The primary purpose of this article is to see how Tholkappiyar formulated the principles and definitions of the Agatthinai. How the ancient Tamils followed these premarital relationships and female chastity ideas can be used for future research. In that Tholkapiyam, love-theme (Agapporul), a treatise that deals with the traditions of love-theme (Agathinai), events related to love, kinds of Agathinai depending on types of love, people of Agathinai, the structure of Agathinai songs, etc., are mostly spoken of in Porulathikaram (the part that deals with the subject matter). It is not known to what extent they have been followed in Sangam literature. The purpose of prioritizing the Sangam literature here is that Tolkappiyar has grammaticalized the messages that appeared before and after the Sangam literature. Thus, the Sangam literature contains all of the thoughts on life that are not known in Tolkappiyam
