The inner/private world of Sangam poetry: love and courtship, never naming real people. It splits into 5 திணை (theme-landscapes), each tied to a real Tamil landscape.

Not a single அகப்பொருள் poem in the entire Sangam corpus names its hero or heroine - the lovers stay anonymous on purpose, so any reader can see themselves in them.

குறிஞ்சி, முல்லை, மருதம், நெய்தல், பாலை.
