Life Philosophy Thoughts in Kaanchi Tiṇai
காஞ்சித்திணையின் வாழ்வியல் சிந்தனைகள்
Keywords:
Purathinai, War and Heroism in Sangam Literature, Generosity and Valor in Tamil Tradition, Kaanchi, Paadaan
Abstract
Apart from individual love events in people's lives, purathiṇai deals with information about other social events. Among them, purathiṇai is a category that extensively discusses news about valor and generosity. The five purathiṇais - Vetchi, Vanji, Uzhinja, Thumbai, and Vaagai - concerning outer conduct all speak about wars, victory achievements, and generous nature. However, Kaanchi is established as a tiṇai that speaks about the impermanence concerning life's events. Paadaan is seen as speaking about the greatness of manhood.
