Nouns In Tirukkural Alphabetical
Created by Jijith Nadumuri at 10 Oct 2011 12:34 and updated at 11 Oct 2011 15:05
Personal note: This analysis of Tirukkural is dedicated to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who used to introduce couplets from Tirukkural to his audience including me while working as an ISRO employee.
In the table shown below is an alphabetical list of nouns found in the Tamil text Tirukkural along with the noun-frequencies and noun-signatures in the three parts of the text. It is a text dealing with Aram, Porul and Imbam i.e. Righteousness, Wealth and Love; or in Sanskit terms, Dharma, Artha and Kaama. Accordingly, Tirukkural is arranged into three books or parts dealing with Dharma, Artha and Kaama. The text is predominantly philosophical in nature and hence contains very less number of nouns dealing with names of people, place-names etc. Around 570 nouns are found.
The only gods mentioned are Vishnu, Lakshmi, Indra and Yama. Interestingly, Shiva who is very popular in southern India is not mentioned. Apart from the names of Vedic gods, the text also contains nouns like Brahman, Brahmans, Brahmin, Brahmins, Vedas and Vedic that indicates the Vedic connections of Trirukkural. This also establish Titukkural as a post-Vedic text in the Tamil country comparable to the post-Vedic Upanishads in Sanskrit language.
Unique nouns specific to Tamil language include Anthanar, Kaman, KAVADI, Kunri, Latchmi, Mudevi and Nerunji.
