Siruppanchamulam(Tamil: சிருப்பஞ்சமுலம்) is a Tamil poetic work of didactic nature belonging to the ''Pathinenkilkanakku'' anthology of Tamil literature. This belongs to the 'post Sangam period' corresponding to between 100 – 500 CE. ''Siruppanchamulam'' contains 100 poems written by the poet Kariyaasaan. He was probably a Jain by religious persuasion. This and the fact that he was a student of one Makkayanaar is known from the introductory poem of this book. The poems of ''Siruppanchamulam'' are written in the Venpa meter. ''Siruppanchamulam'' uses the analogy of the traditional herbal medicine, which uses the roots of the five herbs ''kandankatthiri'' (a plant of the nightshade family – ''Solanum xanthocarpum''), ''siruvzhuthunai'', ''sirumalli'', ''perumalli'', and ''nerunji'' (a thorny prostrate plant – ''Tribulus terrestris'') to cure certain maladies. ''Siruppanchamulam'' similarly uses five different maxims to illustrate correct behaviour. The following poem lists the five things, namely, a chaste girl, the humility of the learned, friendly neighbouring countries, benevolent kings under whose reign there are timely rains and loyal assistants as sweet as ambrosia. : கற்புடைய பெண் அமிர்து, கற்று அடங்கினான் அமிர்து : நற்புடைய நாடுஅமிர்து - நற்புடைய : மேகமே சேர்கொடி வேந்து அமிர்து, சேவகனும் : ஆகவே செய்யின் அமிர்து. ==See also== *Tamil Jain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ciṟupañcamūlam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
