Keeping that tradition in mind, the subtlety of this verse becomes clear. Once the heroine's eyes were beautiful enough to vie with flowers. Now, weeping again and again for her beloved, they have lost their light and withered. So when they look at fragrant flowers they are ashamed; they hang their heads, feeling that they who were once equals have now fallen. In the phrase 'naanina kan', 'the eyes felt shame', the eyes themselves are given a feeling, and that is a special charm of this chapter.\n\nThe commentators explain 'sirumai nammakkozhiya' a little differently. Many take it to mean that he went to earn wealth so that the lowliness that comes of poverty might leave them. Others read it as going so that their happiness should not fall short. In either case there is no doubt that his aim is good. It is because his aim is good that the heroine's grief is all the more delicate: she cannot blame him; she can only weep as she thinks of him.\n\nToday too there are many who work far from home for the family's good. Their purpose is noble. But we do not often notice the price paid by those who wait at home. It is our duty to sense the tiredness in their eyes and the weariness behind their smiles, and to comfort them. The verse teaches us to see together the loftiness of the purpose and the pain on its other side.","story_title_ta":"\u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc0\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8;

At the sight she fainted and fell to the ground. When she woke a little later, the world she had always known seemed plunged in a strange new darkness. There was no body of her husband, no smile of his; only a few specks of ash lay on the ground.\n\nRati cried aloud. Her hair came loose and spread on the earth. Her ornaments fell off one by one. Vasanta, spring, the companion of Kama, came and stood beside her in sorrow. The flowers of the spring season were all in bloom. But the sight of the flowers broke Rati even more, for they were Kama's arrows, always in his hand. The hands were gone; only the flowers remained.\n\nWith so much weeping her eyes grew red and withered. Eyes that once rivalled flowers were now without light. She could not show her face before those blossoms and hung her head. She longed to climb the pyre with her husband. Then a voice rang out from the sky: when Lord Shiva takes Uma as his bride, you will get your husband back. So the voice consoled her.\n\nAfter that Rati bore her loss with hope. Her eyes were still wet, but within the wetness a little expectation shone.\n\nRati's story shows how clearly the grief of loss appears in the eyes, and how it can put even flowers, the very symbol of beauty, to shame. Valluvar's heroine feels the same shame.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"When sorrow has dimmed your own brightness, what small kindness could help you see yourself with gentleness again?","image_prompt":"Rati seated on the ground beside a small heap of ash in a spring grove, her hair loose and eyes downcast, blooming flowers around her, the god Vasanta standing sorrowfully nearby, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1433","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\/1433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1987,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1433\/revisions\/1987"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=1433"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=1433"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=1433"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=1433"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=1433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
