# Tirukkural 1

*As A is first among letters, the Primordial One is first in the world.*

அகரம் முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் ஆதி பகவன் முதற்றே உலகு.

*akaram mutala ezhuttellam ati pakavan mutarre ulaku.*

As A is first among letters, the Primordial One is first in the world.

Companion, not a substitute for your Alvar note: a first principle can steady a week. Tirukkural is ethical Tamil; Alvar hymns carry the longing the text names.
