In Tamil 'pini' means both a sickness and a bond. Great greed eats at body and mind like a sickness, and it ties a person down like a rope.\n\n'Oraa vinaiyaen' means 'I, who act without thinking'. That is the very nature of greed: it never lets you stop and reflect. It drives you from one want to the next, and so the poet 'wanders', 'uzhal', with no rest.\n\nIn the second half he calls Murugan 'veeraa', hero, and 'sooraa', valiant one, with a play on the name of his enemy Sooran. Sooran too was driven by greed. He already ruled vast worlds and still wanted the heaven of the gods. The Lord who destroyed that ancient, enormous greed can surely cure the poet's smaller one. The hint is gentle: my disease is not too big for you.","story_title_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b95\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9c\u0baf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bae\u0b95\u0bc7\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd: \"\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd; \u0b89\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd.\" \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"The Envoy to Sooran's Court","story_en":"From the Kanda Puranam.

He imprisoned the devas and threw Jayantha, the son of Indra, into his dungeons.\n\nBefore the war, Murugan sent his commander Veerabahu as an envoy. Veerabahu crossed the sea to Sooran's capital, Veeramahendrapuram, and stood before him in his court. 'Free the devas,' he said, 'and your kingdom will remain yours. Refuse, and your ruin is certain.'\n\nSooran had everything, yet he would not agree. The greed for more blinded him, and that refusal brought about his downfall.
