It is a lovely turn of the andhadhi.\n\nHaving praised the Mother through so many images over ninety-two verses, Bhattar suddenly stops and laughs: 'For her who bore the whole world, words like bud, doe and mountain's daughter are all too small!' It is the poet's humility. He admits that it is impossible to speak of the boundless in words that have limits.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0baf\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc8","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb4\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baf\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0baf\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \"\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb1!\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \"\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8, \u0b85\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baf\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2. \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b95\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \"\u0b87\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd? \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd?\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \"\u0b9e\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0baf\u0b95\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\" \u0bae\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8.","story_title_en":"Yashoda Sees the Universe in Krishna's Mouth","story_en":"From the Bhagavata Purana.

The whole universe was there: the sky, the directions, mountains, oceans, the sun, the moon, the stars, Gokula, and in it herself and Krishna. She trembled in wonder. 'Who is he? Who am I?' her mind cried. Then Krishna, by his maya, filled her heart again with a mother's love.
