Here too: 'Was it not you who ordained that I should fall into this ruined life? What low deed did I ever do to deserve it?'\n\nThe last line leaves the argument behind and turns to prayer. 'Vaazhvaay ini nee' can be heard two ways at once: 'from now on, you be my life', and 'may you live (in me) from now on'. The answer to a ruined life is not some other worldly life, but the Lord himself becoming one's life.\n\nThe verse makes a journey in its own words. It begins with 'paazh vaazhvu', a ruined life, and ends with 'vaazhvaay', live! The same root, 'vaazh', to live, is redeemed between the first line and the last. Complaint becomes surrender, and surrender becomes life.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0bb4 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb2 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95, \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \"\u0b93\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcb \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba3\u0bbe\u0baf\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb2\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \"\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b89\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.","story_title_en":"The Highway Robber Who Became an Alvar","story_en":"From the Alvar tradition. Neelan was a chieftain in the Chola country. To marry Kumudavalli, a devout woman, he promised to feed a thousand devotees every day for a year. When his wealth ran out, he turned to highway robbery to keep his vow.\n\nOne night Lord Vishnu himself came along the road disguised as a rich bridegroom. Neelan stripped him of his jewels, and when one toe ring would not come off, he bent to bite it loose. At that moment the traveller whispered into his ear the sacred mantra, 'Om Namo Narayanaya'. Neelan was transformed on the spot and became Thirumangai Alvar, whose hymns, including the Periya Thirumozhi, are still sung in temples.\n\nThe Lord came in person to claim a man who had fallen into low deeds, and became his life from then on.
