TheArul Nool is a supplement to theAkilattirattu Ammanai, and is likewise considered aholy scripture ofAyyavazhi. This book contains the collection of messages given byAyya Vaikundar to hisDisciples (Citars orArulalarkal), whose names are unknown. Since they are believed to be composed byArylalarkar, it acquired the nameArulnool. There is no direct indication within the book regarding the time of its composition.

Within this literature,Ukappadippu,Ucchippadippu,Vazhappadippu andPothippu are prayer formulae used for worship.Chattu Nittolai is a book that is said to contain the Lamentations of Ayya Vaikundar. It laments on the sufferings of Ayya Vaikundar and the sanar people. There are also views that Ayya Vaikundar himself sang the content of this book when he came fromThiruchendur.Ayya Cicarukku chonna pathiram, Ayya Cicarukku chonna Sivakanta atikara pathiram andTinkalpatam are instructions given to people on various aspects of life, including the conduct of worship. The instructions found in these are generally rephrasings of those that are given inAkilathirattu.Natuthirvai Ula is a set of predictions for theday of judgment, andKalyana Vazhthu is a song of felicitation to be sung during marriages in honour of the couples.Saptha kannimar padal is another formulation of the story ofSeven Virgins given inAkilathirattu, andPanchatevar Urpatthi is about five folk deities namedSivaimargal, believed to be the soldiers of Ayya Vaikundar.

The wordUkappadippu inTamil means "The song of theAeon". It is present in Arul Nool. ThisUkappatippu is not to be confused withUccippadippu, the noon Prayer. TheUkappadippu consists of six verses, and each was chanted eleven times by the devotees inPathis andNizhal Thangals twice a day; at dawn and at dusk after thePanividai.

The wordUcchippadippu inTamil means "Things to be chanted at noontide". ThisUcchippatippu is not to be confused withUkappatippu (see above). TheUcchippadippu is the noon prayer chanted inAyyavazhiPathis andNizhal Thangals, exactly at 12:00 noon. This is also found in Arul Nool.

ThePanchathevar Urppatthi section explains the situation and the way by which theSivaimar were created. TheNatuttheervai Ula section details the happenings of the day of final judgment. TheKalyana Vazhthu is the ballad which was sung during the marriages of the followers of Ayyavazhi. Most of the lines of this part are extracts fromAkilam.
