In ancient Tamil life these were sights of pride and excitement.\n\nThe last two lines name a higher sweetness: eager listeners hearing what is good with an unclouded mind. The wealth of listening is prized highly in the Tamil tradition; Valluvar calls it 'the wealth of wealths'.\n\nKing Parikshit, knowing that death would come in seven days, did not panic but spent those seven days listening to the Srimad Bhagavatam from the sage Shuka. In a world full of news and noise, setting aside time to listen to what is good with a gathered mind is true wealth.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bc0\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf, \"\u0b8f\u0bb4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b95\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbe \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba3 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd: \"\u0bae\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?

Parikshit, grandson of Arjuna and son of Abhimanyu, ruled his kingdom justly. One day, weary and thirsty from hunting, he came to the hermitage of the sage Shamika. The sage, deep in meditation, did not answer him. In a moment of anger the king draped a dead snake around the sage's neck and left.\n\nWhen the sage's son Shringi learned of it, he cursed the king: \"On the seventh day the serpent Takshaka will bite him and he will die.\" Hearing this, Parikshit understood his fault and repented, but he did not fear death. He handed his kingdom to his son and sat on the bank of the Ganga, fasting.\n\nMany sages came to see him, and then Shuka, son of Vyasa, arrived. Parikshit asked humbly, \"What should one who is near death listen to? What should he think of?\" For seven days without pause Shuka recited to him the Srimad Bhagavatam: the descents of the Lord, the lives of his devotees, the play of Krishna.\n\nForgetting hunger and sleep, Parikshit listened eagerly and with a clear mind. When Takshaka came on the seventh day, the king's mind rested wholly in God. Without fear he left his body and reached the Lord.\n\nFor the eager to listen to what is good with an unclouded mind is sweet; that listening made even death peaceful.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"How much time did you set aside this week to listen, with a gathered mind, to something good?","image_prompt":"King Parikshit seated in calm attention on the bank of the Ganga listening to the young sage Shuka, a circle of sages gathered around them beneath great trees, 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\/3526","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\/3526\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3526"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3526"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3526"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3526"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
