It is divided into three books, treating of Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure, and consists of 133 chapters, each containing 10 couplets, and so numbers 2,660 lines. The Venpa meter, in which it is composed, is very curious, and in fact unique. "A kurral," says Pope, " is a couplet containing a complete and striking idea expre ed in a refined and intricate meter. No translation can convey an idea of its charming effect. It is truly 'an apple of gold in a network of silver.'"
