Excerpt from The Kural of Tiruvalluvar With the Commentary of Parimelazagar and a Simple and Clear Padavuray: To Which Is Added an English Translation of the Text As regards the Kum itself, it stands on its own merits. The purity of its Tamil, the richness of its diction, the lofty tone of its morality, the theistic and unsectarian nature of its theology, the endless variety of topics discussed in its 133 Chapters, and the profound esteem in which it is held by all classes of Tamil speaking Hindus, are too well known to need praise or comment on the part of the Publisher.
