Tamil books of Law
Tamil books of law () or the more correct, Classical Tamil phrase (), are didactic Tamil works aimed to promote discipline (ஒழுக்கம்) among people. They were composed with intent to propound moral guidelines, often without specific religious affiliation, hence, many consider them to be secular. They are comparable to the dharmashastra of the Vedic culture. Late Sangam period
