PART III is on LOVE (Inbam):

Gandharva Marriage (The Pre-marital love) - (109 – 115): On beauty of the princess, praise of beauty, embrace, signs of mutual love, declaration of love, etc.

Wedded Love (The Post-marital love) - (116 – 133): Problems of married life – separation, grief, sad memories, mutual desire, desire for union, reading of the signs, visions of the night, pouting, pleasure of variance, etc.

ADDITIONAL INFO :

Thiruvalluvar has dedicated the first chapter (ten couplets) of his book to God, in praise of Him, followed by three other in praise of rain, asceticism and virtue. The first of the ten couplets of the chapter narrates: As the letter “A” is the first of all letters (Alphabets) and the source of energy to all letters, so the eternal God is the first in the world”. We are able to understand that Valluvar has had a deep experience and knowledge of God. God is the Alpha (the origin) and the Omega (the end) of all existence in the universe. The God of Valluvar’s conception is universal and non-denominational.
