Kama came to conquer Shiva, and his victory became defeat. But the Mother did what Kama could not: she won Shiva's heart.\n\nThe difference is this. Kama came with desire and arrows; the Mother came with penance and love. So Shiva gave her half of His own body. Where desire cannot win, love does.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba4\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf, \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd.\n\n\u0bb5\u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd.\n\n\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"The Burning of Kama","story_en":"From the Shiva Purana. Only a son born to Shiva and Parvati could defeat the demon Taraka, but Shiva was lost in deep meditation. The gods sent Kama, god of love, to stir love for Parvati in Shiva's heart.\n\nKama came with the spring. Just as Parvati was offering flowers to Shiva, he shot a flower arrow from his sugarcane bow. Shiva's meditation broke. He opened His third eye, and in its fire Kama was burned to ash. Rati wept aloud.\n\nParvati understood that she could not win Shiva by beauty, and she undertook a fierce penance. That penance won Shiva. What Kama's arrow could not do, her love did. The Purana adds that, moved by Rati's prayer, Kama was given life again, though without a body.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba3\u0bc1\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Is there something you want to win that you could approach with patience and love instead of craving?","image_prompt":"Shiva in meditation opening his third eye, a jet of fire turning Kama and his sugarcane bow to ash, Rati weeping nearby, Parvati standing calmly with a garland of flowers, spring blossoms in a Himalayan grove, 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\/3649","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\/3649\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3649"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3649"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3649"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3649"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
