This book by V. Ilavazhuthi brings together the available narratives and surviving verses of 'Valayapathi' and 'Kundalakesi', which, along with Silappatikaram, Manimekalai, and Sivakasinthamani, form the 'Aimperumkappiyangal' (Five Great Epics of Tamil). Since large portions of these specific two epics have been lost to time, the author reconstructs their stories (which deal with Jain and Buddhist philosophies, trade, and moral dilemmas) and explains the existing poetic fragments.
