சங்கப்பெண்களின் வாழ்வியல் நோக்கில் ஐங்குறுநூறு

Abstract

Society is a collection of individuals. In this way, the well-being, lifestyle, and morality of individuals become the identity of society. The role of women in contributing to the welfare of society is particularly significant. Through the homes where women with excellent qualities live—as mothers, daughters, sisters, lovers, and wives—the family, and through the family, society, and through society, the nation, gain prestige. In the Ainkurunuru, we see how such exceptional women lived, forgetting their own joys and sorrows for the sake of those around them, and how they lived with concern for the country and its resources. The woman is depicted as one who has immense love for her husband, who cannot tolerate separation even for a moment, and who considers even a husband who forgets her and goes to another woman as a divine being. It is noteworthy that the mental struggles and patience of such a heroine are revealed in the poems of Ainkurunuru.
