In Kaveripoompattinam lived a great merchant named Thiruvenkadar. He had ships full of trade, a mansion and great wealth. By the Lord's grace he was given a son, Maruthavanan, to end his sorrow at being childless.\n\nWhen the son grew up he sailed across the sea to trade. He came back with a ship full of dried cow-dung cakes and bran. His father was furious, but hidden inside the cakes was gold. The son gave his mother a small box and then disappeared. Inside was a needle with a broken eye and a palm-leaf note: 'Not even a needle without an eye will go with you on the last road.'\n\nThose words split Thiruvenkadar's heart open. That very day he gave up all his wealth and became a renunciant, known as Pattinathar. His songs, like this one, point to the emptiness of a life spent only eating and sleeping. Tradition says that Maruthavanan was the Lord of Thiruvidaimarudur Himself.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b89\u0bb1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b89\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"Apart from eating, sleeping and working, what did you do today that you would want to carry with you?","image_prompt":"A wealthy Tamil merchant in a palace courtyard holding up a single eyeless needle and a palm-leaf note, ships and piles of gold behind him fading into mist, his face quiet with sudden understanding, 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\/3623","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\/3623\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3623"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3623"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3623"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3623"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
