Purapporul Venbamaalai (

Nacchinarkkiniyar, and others.[1]

The work

The work divides the puram element into 12 parts, known as thinais. These thinais are grouped under three categories. Each thinais is subdivided into various divisions called thurais. Each thinai has a verse known as suthiram (lit. "formula") that summarizes all the thurais. There are 19 such suthirams in the work. Each thurai has a couplet, called the kolu that explains the thurai. There are 342 such kolus (verses) in the work. The work is considered to be based on the Pannirupadalam, an ancient work attributed to the 12 disciples of Sage
