Detailed Solution

Silappadikaram and Manimekalai are two well-known Tamil epics.
The authors of Manimekalai and Silappadikaram is the title of the earliest epic in Tamil. In this 5,730-line poem, nearly entirely written in the kaval (aciriyam) meter, Kannaki, and her wealthy husband Kovalan's tragic love tale is depicted. The sixth century is probably when the Tamil epic Manimekalai, frequently spelled Manimekhalai, was written. It features several of Silappadikaram's characters and their descendants and is a Buddhist "anti-love" sequel. Manimekalai, the mother of Kovalan and Madhavi, carries on her mother's work as a dancer and Buddhist nun. 30 is a monologue about dialogues he has heard or witnessed, sung by any character in the story or by a third party.
