A History of South India from Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar c19.s2.40

c19.s2.40

To the first half of the fifteenth century has been assigned an important anthology, *Purattiraṭṭu*, which followed the *Kural* in the selection and arrangement of topics and sections, and brought together perhaps 2,000 verses and more from all works in the language to the date of the anthology; no work later than Kamban's seems to have found a place in it. Its last part, on Love, has not been recovered except in an abstract of 65 poems. Many poems no longer accessible were known to the anonymous compiler of the anthology.
