Cennāppōtār (செந்நாப்போதார்) is another name for Valluvar (or Thiruvalluvar)—an Indian poet and philosopher. He is best known as the author of the Tirukkuṟa�, a collection of couplets on ethics, political and economic matters, and love. The text is considered an exceptional and widely cherished work of Tamil literature. Thiruvalluvar (or Cennāppōtār) is believed to have lived at least in the town of Mylapore (a neighbourhood of the present-day Chennai), and his floruit is dated variously from fourth century BCE to early fifth century CE, based on the traditional accounts and the linguistic analyses of his writings.
