Kalithogai (Tamil: &6G0g5Tes),a classical Tamil poetic
work,is the sixth book of Ettuthokai, a Sangam literature anthology.
Kalithogai contains one hundred and fifty poems and were written
by various authors. Nachinarkiniyar, a Tamil scholar living during
the sixth or the seventh century C.E. has annotated this work.
Kalithogai is an anthology of 150 poems in kali metre of varied
length dealing with all phases and types of love experience. The
poems are categorised into the five thinais according to the mood
and subject matter conforming to the Sangam landscape. The first
part (2-36) deals with paalai setting, the second (37-65) with
kurinchi, the third (66-100) with marutam, the fourth (101-117)
with mullaé and the fifth (118-150) with neital. These five section
were each written by a separate author. Perunkadunkon wrote the
paalai songs, the poet Kapilar is attributed to the kurinchi,
Tlanaagan the marutham songs, Nalluruthiran the mullai songs and
the poet nallanthuvan the neithat songs. However, modern
scholarship attributes the entire work to a single author.
Considering the style and usage of words, the work is also
considered to be of a later period when compared to most of other
Sangam works. ‘The name of the compiler of Kalithogai and his
patron are not known. The book of annotations for this book written
by Nachinarkiniyaar in the mid fifteenth century says that
Nallanthuvanaar compiled the Kalithogai anthology.
The poems of Kalithogai show evidence of the ancient music of the
‘Tamil people with its rhythmic phrases.
(One of the best examples from this compilation is the one attributed
to Nallanthuvanar.
