Yāpparuṅkalakkārikai by Amitacākarar (Amitasagarar) is a classical Tamil treatise on prosody, dating from the 10th century A.D. It has been transmitted over the centuries along with the commentary by Kunacākarar (Gunasagarar) - a contemporary, maybe a pupil, of the author of the original text. Yāpparuṅkalakkārikai represents an important element in the develop-ment of classical Tamil literary theory, being the first post-Tolkāppiyam treatise on prosody known to us.
