Chapter - அதிகாரம் (Sanskrit)
Original Tamil words -
நூல்கூறுபாடு, இயல், பகுதி
We say Thirukkural has 133 அதிகாரம். Yet, the words அதிகாரம், காண்டம் are derived from Sanskrit.
By the time of Thirukkural itself, there had been quite a number of Sanskrit words that had come into the Tamil language. ஆதி, பகவன், குணம், தானம், தவம், தெய்வம், தேவர், மங்கலம், காலம், கருமம், ஆசை, காமம், நாமம், மந்திரி, குலம், குடும்பம் are some of the words which have been used in the Thirukkural which are not of Tamil origin.
There is also an argument that some parts of the Thirukkural we know of today, were not part of the original written by Valluvar. However, we don’t know how valid this argument is. Yet one thing is certain, the influence of Sanskrit over Tamil and the converse (albeit to a lesser extent) has been happening for over 2000 years.
