While Arathupal and Porutpal are told from the teachers perspective ie valluvar himself. The 10 kurals in each chapter can be used as scripts for a drama, such is the structure of kamathupal. There are 25 chapters in this part and these are beautifully stringed together like a drama. Kamathupal’s structure itself is different from that of the first two parts of the book. While Arathupal and Porutpal are similar to that of other books of virtues and ethics in other languages of that era kamathupal stands distinct. The formation and structure of Arathupal and Porutpal in Thirukural is different from that of kamathupal. There are 3 parts in Thirukural Arathupal, Porutpal and Kamathupal. I’ve specifically chosen this part of the book from thirukural, because it was difficult to collect notes for this part and also many people tend to stop with the arathupal and porutpal and ignore kamathupal as if it never existed, the same wise old Thiruvalluvar was the author of this part of the book.
