The Royal Council is the place where topics relating to the domestic and foreign policies of the Government are discussed and the ambassadors and other members of the embassies take part in the deliberations. As the peaceful co-existence with the nighbouring kingdoms is the only means for the proper security of any state, Valluvar is very careful in prescribing the necessary qualifications of an efficient ambassador. Lovableness, noble parentage, possession of such highly polished qualites as will endear the kings must be innate characteristics of an ambassador. Sympathy, intelligence and critical insight with captivating eloquence are indispenable for an ambassador. Above all, an ambassador must be a man of extensive learning and in the midst of the scholars of the Royal courts he should ascend to the top most rank leaving none to excel him.
