This is reflected in some of the other names by which the text is known: tamil marai (Tamil Veda) poyyamozhi (words that never fail) and teyva nul or dheiva nool (divine text). Thirukkural expounds various aspects of life and is one of the most important works in Tamil. It does not advocate any specific religion. It is hence called ulga podhu marai (the world's common scripture). His work is however, completely universal in approach. The author was hence certainly a believer in God. The work begins with a salutation to the Almighty. It was authored by Thiruvalluvar, and is considered to be the first work to focus on ethics, in Dravidian Literature. Thirukkural ( Tamil: திருக்குறள் also known as the Kural) is a classic of couplets or Kurals (1330 rhyming Tamil couplets) or aphorisms celebrated by Tamils.
