It is structured into three main parts: Aram (Virtue), dealing with ethics and moral life; Porul (Wealth), focusing on economic and social life; and Inbam (Love), exploring matters of love and joy. Revered as a universal scripture, its teachings transcend time, religion, and region, providing profound insights into human nature, governance, and righteousness.
