The 133 chapters of Tirukkural are divided into 3 sections: Aram meaning virtue; Porul meaning government and society; and Inbam meaning love. The first section, ‘Aram’, opens by praising God, rain, renunciation, and a life of virtue. The ‘Porul’ section projects a vision of an ideal state and relates good citizenship to virtuous private life. The ‘Inbam’ section addresses both “secret love” and married love.
