Beginning with 'Oodukha manno oliyizhai', he says, let her sulk a little more. 'Oliyizhai' means one who wears shining jewels, and points to the heroine. In her sulk the light of the jewels and the light of her face come together. His wish is that this light may remain long.\n\nIn the next line he says, 'yaam irappa needukha manno iraa'. We beg; let the night itself grow long. Its meaning is that if the night lengthens there will be more time for sulking and union. The poetry of asking time itself to lengthen is charmingly shaped here.\n\nThe music of the verse should be noticed. The word 'manno' comes in both lines. It sounds like a sigh. The two prayers join in a single sigh: let the sulk lengthen, let the night lengthen. This joining is the heart's desire of the hero.\n\nHere the caution of the earlier chapters is somewhat relaxed. Valluvar, who said 'let the sulk be small', here accepts the hero's asking for 'a little more'. But this is within the limit of one night; so even if the sulk lengthens it does not spoil.\n\nEveryone has had in life the experience, at a sweet evening hour, of longing, 'If only this time would lengthen.'

In a village near Chidambaram, Ganesan and his wife Savitri went to the temple for that night vigil. In all four watches abhisheka and puja are performed.\n\nIn the evening Ganesan stood a little apart from Savitri because he was talking with his friends. It gave Savitri a small hurt. She sat by a pillar with her face turned away. The kumkum on her forehead, the earring shining in her ear, the golden chain at her neck, all gleamed in the lamplight.\n\nGanesan came and sat near her. 'What, Savitri, are you angry with me?' he said. She did not speak. He smiled softly and said, 'Lady of shining jewels, sulk a little longer. Let this night lengthen.' Savitri turned and said, 'What are you saying?' 'I feel I want to keep looking at your sulk; let this night not dawn,' said Ganesan.\n\nA smile bloomed on Savitri's face. 'Is this how one prays on a Shivaratri night?' she scolded fondly. Ganesan said, 'Lord Shiva himself knows my prayer.'\n\nThrough the whole night the two sang bhajans together. The night seemed to them to lengthen indeed. In the last watch, as the east grew pale, they looked at each other with a smile.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"What evening in your life would you ask to be lengthened, if you could beg the night itself?","image_prompt":"A husband and wife seated near a lamp-lit stone pillar in a Shiva temple during the night vigil of Maha Shivaratri, she with jewels glowing and a mock-sulky face, he smiling and pleading gently, devotees chanting in the background, 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\/1531","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\/1531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2941,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/1531\/revisions\/2941"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=1531"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=1531"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=1531"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=1531"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=1531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
