After many of his commanders had fallen, Ravana came to the battlefield himself for the first time. He struck Hanuman and Lakshmana and scattered the vanara army. At last Rama faced him.\n\nA fierce duel followed. Rama's arrows brought down Ravana's charioteer, killed his horses, cut his banner, broke his bow and sent his crown crashing to the ground. Ravana stood on the field without weapon, chariot or crown.\n\nIn that state Rama did not kill him. He said: \"You have fought a great battle today and you are weary. To kill a weary man is not dharma. Go back to Lanka and rest. Come tomorrow with a new chariot and bow, and then you will see my strength.\"\n\nAshamed, his head bowed, Ravana returned to Lanka. Kamban later made this moment famous in Tamil as 'inru poy naalai vaa', go now, come back tomorrow.\n\nEven in the midst of a battlefield where birds seize the dead, there is the law of dharma yuddha: do not strike the unarmed or the weary. Rama's act shows it.","reflection_ta":"\u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcb \u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcb, \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bc0\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"In an argument or a contest, have you ever given way to an opponent when they were at their weakest?","image_prompt":"Rama with lowered bow speaking calmly to a defeated ten-headed Ravana standing without chariot or crown on the battlefield, Ravana's broken bow and fallen crown at his feet, vultures circling high in the evening sky, 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\/3579","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\/3579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
