Manimekalai is another ancient Tamil epic poem written by Cuntarar in the 7th century CE. It tells the story of Manimekalai, a young woman who is born into a family of courtesans. She is educated in the arts and sciences and eventually becomes a Buddhist nun. The poem provides insights into the religious beliefs and social practices of the time, as well as into the lives of courtesans and Buddhist nuns.<\/p>\n
