Thoseworks of scholars which passed through research, clarity, practice and success are the ones that are likelyto guide the life of man by giving the maximum benefit. Such books are revered to be the primeauthoritative books or knowledge books (Vedas) and manual books (Shastras) or books based on lifeexperiences. One such book is the Tirukkural.
