The palmyra was the Chera emblem (the Chera garland was of palmyra flowers), so the ravaged grove may also hint at the fall of the Chera army.\n\nThis is one of the book's harshest scenes. By comparing it to what one sees in a village after a storm, the poet leaves the feeling that war, too, is a devastating storm.","story_title_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b9c\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc0\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b9c\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0baf\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd;

Ravana's son Indrajit was a master of magical warfare who shot his arrows hidden in the clouds. Twice he had struck down Rama and Lakshmana. Vibhishana warned that if Indrajit completed a sacrifice at Nikumbhila, no one could ever defeat him.\n\nWith Rama's leave, Lakshmana, Vibhishana and Hanuman went to Nikumbhila before the rite was finished, and the sacrifice was broken off. Enraged, Indrajit fought Lakshmana face to face. Valmiki says the duel went on for three days and nights.\n\nAt last Lakshmana set an arrow to his bow and said, \"If Rama, son of Dasharatha, is truly devoted to dharma, true in speech and peerless in valour, let this arrow slay Indrajit,\" and loosed it. The arrow struck off Indrajit's head. The rakshasa army scattered and fled, and the gods showered flowers.\n\nThis victory showed that strength lies not in illusion but in dharma. That field, where the rakshasa army scattered like a palmyra grove in a gale, meets this verse's scene.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd '\u0bae\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bc8' \u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb0 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Can you recall a time in your life when honesty won out over trickery and shortcuts?","image_prompt":"Lakshmana loosing a glowing arrow at the rakshasa prince Indrajit in a chariot amid dark clouds, Vibhishana and Hanuman beside Lakshmana, a broken sacrificial fire altar and a grove of palms bent by wind in the background, 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\/3583","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\/3583\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3583"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3583"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3583"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3583"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
