A பா type known for its short, compact lines, செப்பலோசை (a measured, speech-like sound), and a strict வெண்டளை rule - Thirukkural's குறள் வெண்பா (just 2 அடி) is its shortest form.

A student memorizing all 1,330 Thirukkural couplets is, without necessarily realizing it, internalizing வெண்பா's தளை pattern 1,330 times over.

Every couplet of the திருக்குறள் is written in குறள் வெண்பா.
