Read full descriptionHide full description
The Naladiyar belongs to the post Sangam period corresponding to between 100 and 500 CE. Naladiyar contains 400 poems, each containing four lines. The term Naladiyar is derived from the Tamil terms Naalu, a colloquial form of Naangu meaning “four”, adi meaning metrical feet or poetic metre, and aar referring to a honorific suffix. Thus Naladiyar refers to the work that contains four-lined verse. The work is also termed Naaladi Naanooru, sometimes spelled Naladi Nannurru, meaning "four hundred quatrains," since it has 400 verses in total. The Naladiyar is next only to the Tirukkural in fame among the Tamil literary works. The main intention of the app is to learn from the Naladiyar and follow that in your own life and live happy.
