According to Zvelebil, the Tirukkural borrows a great number of lines and phrases from earlier Tamil texts. For example, phrases found in Kuruntokai (lit. The Collection of Short [Poems]) and many lines in Narrinai (lit. The Excellent Love Settings) which starts with an invocation to Vishnu, appear in the later Tirukkural. Authors who came after the composition of the Tirukkural similarly extensively quoted and borrowed from the Tirukkural. For example, the Prabandhas such as the Tiruvalluvamalai probably from the 10th century CE are anthologies on Tirukkural, and these extensively quote and embed it verses written in meters ascribed to gods, goddesses, and revered Tamil scholars. Similarly, the love story Perunkatai (lit. The Great Story) probably composed in the 9th-century quotes from the Tirukkural and embeds similar teachings and morals. Verse 22.59-61 of the Manimekalai - a Buddhist-princess and later nun based love story epic, likely written about the 6th century CE, also quotes the Tirukkural. This Buddhist epic ridicules Jainism while embedding morals and ideals similar to those in the Kural.
