One is a woman's sharp glance, which pierces the mind and leaves it dazed. The other is Murugan's long vel, which pierces the daze itself. The poet's grief is that a mind wounded by the first spear forgets even to think of the second.\n\nThe phrase 'soor vaerodu', Sooran with his roots, matters. When Sooran stood in the ocean as a giant mango tree, Murugan's vel split it from top to root. Desire is a tree of the same kind. Cut off its branches and it sprouts again; only something that reaches the root can end it. That is why the poet calls on the 'long' vel.\n\nAs in verses 5 and 9, Arunagirinathar does not hide his weakness or pretend to a purity he does not feel. That honesty gives the reader hope. If a man who could write this about himself still found the Lord's grace, so can anyone who is willing to look at himself as plainly.","story_title_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba3\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba3\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b93\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba3\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd: \"\u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba8\u0bc0 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd.\" \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bbf \"\u0bb2\u0bc0\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb8\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0 \u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0ba3 \u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bae\u0bcb\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"The Words That Turned Bilvamangala","story_en":"From the bhakti tradition. In the south lived a learned Brahmin named Bilvamangala. He was so infatuated with a dancer named Chintamani that he forgot everything else. One stormy night he even left his father's memorial rites, crossed a flooded river clinging to a floating corpse he took for a log, and climbed her wall holding a snake he mistook for a rope.\n\nWhen Chintamani saw the state he was in, she was grieved and said: 'If you had even half this longing for Krishna that you have for this body of bone and flesh, you would have been free long ago.' Her words turned him around. He became a devotee of Krishna, known as Leelashuka, and sang the Sri Krishna Karnamritam. He honoured Chintamani as his first guru.\n\nThe story shows that a mind wounded by the spear of desire, the very state this verse laments, can still be turned towards God, and that the turning can come through the most unexpected teacher.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcb \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcb \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"What might happen if the force of your strongest longing were turned towards God or a higher aim?","image_prompt":"A young Brahmin drenched from a storm standing at a lamp-lit doorway, a dancer speaking gently to him, behind her a vision of the child Krishna, and far above in the clouds the long vel of Murugan splitting a mango tree at its root, 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\/3769","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\/3769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3769"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3769"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3769"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3769"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
