Views on Valluvar and the Kural
Nappalatthanar opines about Valluvar and the Kural text thus:[3]
Valluvar has lighted a lamp for dispelling the darkness from the hearts of those who live in the world; having virtue for its bowl, wealth for its wick, pleasure for its oil, the fire of expression for its flame, and the short stanza for its stand.
