This is a thoroughly revised fourth edition of my book of selections from Tiru-Valluvar's great book. A high degree of civilization in the truest sense of the word is disclosed by Kural which was written more then 1500 years ago. Without such civilization Tiru-Valluvar's book could not have come into being. Kural is not a mere book of aphorisms. It is a work linked with the life of the people in all its aspects. This book of giving English renderings of selected couplets, it is hoped, will help the non-Tamil people of India to appraise the Tamil civilization of Tiru-Valluvar's time in proper measure.
The couplets are not printed with the feet divided according to Tamil prosody but so as to facilitate readers following the meaning easily.
