A village cut off by a forest torrent is severed from the world every rainy season. These are sorrows of outward circumstance.\n\nBut the heart of the verse is its second line: to eat another creature's flesh in order to fatten one's own is 'foremost among pains'. Kapilar echoes Valluvar, who asks how one who eats other flesh to swell his own can possess compassion. The third line, honey and ghee gone sour, reminds us that even sweet things spoil past their time.\n\nTo see every living being as one's own self is ahimsa, a foundation of Hindu dharma. The story of King Shibi, who cut flesh from his own body to save a dove, shows the noble opposite of what this verse condemns. The verse invites us to bring compassion for other creatures even into our choices of food.","story_title_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b89\u0b9a\u0bc0\u0ba8\u0bb0 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1: \"\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bbe?\" \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd: \"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b89\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd.\"\n\n\"\u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b89\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b8a\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8a\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd;

Shibi, king of the Ushinaras, was renowned for compassion and righteousness. To test him, Indra took the form of a hawk and Agni the form of a dove.\n\nOne day, as Shibi was performing a sacrifice, a dove pursued by a hawk fluttered in, trembling, and fell into his lap. The hawk followed and spoke: \"O king, that dove is my food. Is it right to snatch it from me while I starve?\" Shibi answered, \"I will not abandon a creature that has sought refuge with me. I will give you any other food you wish.\"\n\n\"Then give me your own flesh, equal in weight to the dove,\" said the hawk. Shibi did not hesitate. A balance was brought. He placed the dove in one pan, cut flesh from his own thigh and placed it in the other. The pan did not rise. He cut more and more, but the dove grew ever heavier. At last Shibi climbed into the pan and sat there himself.\n\nThen Indra and Agni appeared in their true forms. They made Shibi's body whole again and blessed him: \"Your compassion has no equal; your fame will last for ever.\"\n\nTo feed on other flesh to fatten one's own is a sorrow; to give one's own flesh to save another life is the highest grace.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0b9f \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"How much compassion for other creatures do your daily food and habits reflect?","image_prompt":"King Shibi seated calmly in one pan of a great golden balance while a small dove rests in the other, a hawk perched nearby, priests and courtiers watching in awe beside a sacrificial fire, Tanjore-painting inspired style with palm-leaf manuscript texture, 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\/3496","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":0,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/3496\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3496"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3496"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3496"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3496"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
