The treatise dates to the 13th century. It is closely associated with the Tancaivanankovai of Poyyamolipulavar, a set of connected poems in the form of a [[kovai]] on the life of the Pandiyan king Maravarman Kulasekara Pandiyan I, which was written as an &#039;&#039;ilakkiyam&#039;&#039; to illustrate the successive rules of Akapporul Vilakkam.<br /> <br /> Unlike earlier works on &#039;&#039;akam&#039;&#039; poetics, the &#039;&#039;Akapporul Vilakkam&#039;&#039; divides the phases of a relationship into three, adding an intermediate phase of &#039;&#039;varaivu&#039;&#039; (&quot;[[marriage]]&quot;) to the two phases of &#039;&#039;kalavu&#039;&#039; (&quot;stolen love&quot;) and &#039;&#039;karpu&#039;&#039; (&quot;[[chastity|chaste love]]&quot;) discussed in earlier texts. The text&#039;s discussion of the topics that are the subject of &#039;&#039;akam&#039;&#039; poetry is classified according to a hierarchy of situations and events (&#039;&#039;kilavi&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;vakai&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;viri&#039;&#039;), unlike earlier grammars which classify topics according to the speaker (&#039;&#039;kurru&#039;&#039;).<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> *{{Citation | last=Takahashi | first=Takanobu | title=Tamil Love Poetry and Poetics | publisher=E.J.
