Elephants with spears lodged in their chests, their feet unable to hold the ground, their ears drooping, look as though they stand listening to the great Earth reciting the Veda.\n\nWhen the din of war dies down, what remains is silence. This vision of creatures at the threshold of death listening to the Veda that the Earth recites suggests that even in the midst of war the voice of dharma and the Veda keeps sounding. After the harshness of forty-one verses, the poet leaves us in that stillness.","story_title_ta":"\u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0baf \u0bb9\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0baf\u0bae\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\u0bae \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba3 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9. \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba3 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \"\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe, \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7, \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd '\u0b86\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0baf \u0bb9\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b93\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1;

The final battle between Rama and Ravana went on and on. However many times Rama cut off Ravana's heads, they grew back. Weary from battle, Rama stood lost in thought.\n\nThen the sage Agastya, who had come with the gods to watch the battle, came down and approached Rama. \"Rama, I will tell you a sacred hymn that conquers every enemy, dispels anxiety and lengthens life. Listen,\" he said. In the middle of the battlefield he taught him the Aditya Hridayam, the hymn in praise of the Sun.\n\nRama listened in stillness. Sipping water three times in purification, he faced the sun and recited the hymn. His mind grew clear and new strength was born in him. Valmiki says the Sun in the sky rejoiced and blessed him: \"You will soon win.\"\n\nThen Rama loosed the Brahmastra Agastya had given him and brought Ravana down. Even today many Hindus recite the Aditya Hridayam every morning.\n\nThis book's final image, of creatures standing amid the battlefield listening to the sacred Veda, finds its fulfilment in Rama standing in the midst of battle to hear Agastya's hymn: even in the greatest war, what finally brings victory is a mind at peace.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd '\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1' \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7, \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb2 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"In the midst of your life's battles, could you sit in stillness for a few minutes each day to clear your mind?","image_prompt":"The sage Agastya standing beside Rama on a quiet corner of a vast battlefield at dawn, Rama with folded hands facing a radiant rising sun, wounded war elephants standing still with ears lowered as if listening, 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\/3600","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\/3600\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
