Abstract

Among Tamil literary works, Sangam literature holds a unique and distinguished place. Among these, Kurunthogai stands out as a prime example of literature that combines simplicity, conciseness, and aesthetic appeal. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is preeminent among such works, given the abundance of literary nuances found in it. The more widely a work is circulated among the people, the more textual variations it tends to have. This article focuses on examining the 88th poem of Kurunthogai in this context.
