This text has three parts and counts 1610 sutras. The three parts of it are eluttu (orthography), coll (etymology), and porul (matter) each with nine sections. Each division is called an atikāram. Tolkāppiyam, the most ancient Tamil grammar extant, was written around the 2nd century BC. The author of this book is Tolkappiyar, one of the twelve students of Agastya.
