The lover takes her features one by one and gives each a comparison from nature. Her body is tender and rosy like a young sprout. Her smile shows teeth that gleam like pearls. The fragrance about her is not from any artificial scent but is natural to her. Her kohl-lined eyes are as keen as a spear, and her shoulders are straight and soft like bamboo.\n\nEach comparison speaks to a different sense. The sprout is for touch, the pearl for sight, the fragrance for smell, the spear for the sharpness of a glance, and the bamboo for graceful shape. The subtle point is that when we truly attend to another person, all our senses are engaged together. The phrase velunkan can be understood as an eye sharp as a spear, or as an eye that wounds like one, and commentators accept both.\n\nIn the phrase veri naatram the word veri refers to a fresh, wild scent, not one made by cosmetics. In our own time we can take a lesson from this: real regard looks for beauty in a person's natural self. Love deepens when we stop noticing only the make-up and appearance and begin to feel and honour the whole presence of another human being.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bbf","story_ta":"\u0ba4\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9. \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b9e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0 \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8a\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc7 \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9;

In one of them a young man named Sundaram took up the task of carving the image of Ambika for a temple renovation. His teacher was the old sculptor Arumugam. The shilpa texts give delicate measurements for the form of the Goddess, but knowing measurements, the teacher said, is one thing and breathing life into them is another.\n\nFor months Sundaram tried and still his figure looked lifeless. The shoulders were straight but not soft. The eyes were correct in size but held no light. One day, tired, he put down his chisel. His teacher took him to a bamboo grove nearby. \"Before you carve a shoulder, watch how bamboo bends and rises in the wind. Look at how a sprout stands pink in the sun,\" he said.\n\nFrom then on Sundaram studied a sprout in the morning, a lotus bud in the evening, and at night the light of the temple lamp in the Goddess's eyes. His eyes, hands and mind took in each of them together. As he carved, he felt his chisel move of its own accord.\n\nOn the day the image was complete, the committee came. Seeing the soft light of a smile on the face, the gentleness in the shoulders and the kindness in the eyes, they fell silent. One elder said, \"This statue is not beautiful by measurement. It is beautiful by seeing.\" The teacher smiled at Sundaram.\n\nThat night Sundaram sat alone and thought. If we look at a woman, or at a deity, only as separate parts, we get a stone figure. If we look with all the senses, it comes alive. Love, he realised, works the same way.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe, \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb2 \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Do you notice the whole presence of the people you love, or only a few features of how they look?","image_prompt":"A young sculptor carving a goddess statue in a courtyard near a Chola-style temple with a bamboo grove behind him, his old teacher watching, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1945,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1315\/revisions\/1945"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=1315"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=1315"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=1315"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=1315"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=1315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
