'''Parani''' is one of the 96 minor [[Literary genre|literary genres]] collectively known as ‘Sittrilakkiyam’ in [[Tamil language|Tamil]]. <br />
<br />
The earliest examples of ''Parani Ilakkiyam'' (grammar) are traced to the 11th century A.D. A Parani celebrates the valour and heroism of a king or a soldier who has won a great battle after slaying 1,000 [[Elephant|elephants]]. An interesting feature of Parani is that they are named not after the victorious, but after the vanquished or the place of the battle.<ref name="Tamilvu">{{cite web | url=http://www.tamilvu.org/courses/degree/p103/p1034/html/p10341au.htm | title=P10341 Thakkayaagap Parani | publisher=tamilvu.org | accessdate=21 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Narayan|first=Shyamala A.|last2=Mukherjee|first2=Sujit|date=2000|title=A Dictionary of Indian Literature. 1: Beginnings-1850|journal=World Literature Today|volume=74|issue=4|pages=281|doi=10.2307/40156118|issn=0196-3570|jstor=40156118}}</ref><br />
