In fierce hunger, it is hard for any virtue to hold. So rather than first lecturing a hungry person about conduct, the dharma is to give them food.\n\nThis is why our tradition praises annadanam, the gift of food, so highly. To relieve someone's hunger is to protect all ten of their virtues.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc0\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bbe \u0baf\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb4\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u201c\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc7, \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bae\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1\u201d \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb4\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba9. \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b94\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8.","story_title_en":"Vishwamitra in the Great Famine","story_en":"A story Bhishma tells Yudhishthira in the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata.

Even the great sage Vishwamitra wandered for days without food.\n\nWeak with hunger, one night he entered the hut of an outcaste on the edge of a village and tried to take the dog's meat kept there. The man woke and argued from dharma: 'Sage, this is not fit for you.' Vishwamitra argued that preserving life is also a duty.\n\nHe took the meat and was about to offer it first to the gods when Indra sent rain and ended the famine for the world.\n\nEven the pride of birth and the austerity of a sage the whole world revered were tested by hunger.
