Dhamatthar
Dhamatthar (c. 11th century CE) was a
Thirukkural.[1] He was among the canon of ten medieval commentators of the Kural text most highly esteemed by modern scholars. His work, however, has been lost along with other four ancient commentators, namely, Dharumar, Nacchar, Thirumalaiyar, and Mallar.[2]
