The Mother has given everything she has to give: her feet to rule him and her side-glance to protect him. If suffering still comes, Bhattar admits, the fault is his own. Devotion is not blaming God; it is looking at oneself.\n\nTradition explains Shiva's burning of the three cities as destroying the three impurities: ego, karma and illusion. The Mother, who is part of that Shiva, is able to destroy all three impurities in her devotee.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\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\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0baa\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bbf, \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9 \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd: \u0baa\u0bc2\u0bae\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1. \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9. \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7: \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8; \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bc7.","story_title_en":"Shiva Burns the Three Cities with a Smile","story_en":"From the Shiva Purana.

They tormented the worlds.\n\nThe gods built Shiva a great chariot: the earth was the chariot, the sun and moon its wheels, Mount Meru the bow, the serpent Vasuki the string and Vishnu the arrow. The moment came when the three cities stood in one line.\n\nBut before Shiva loosed the arrow, He smiled.
