Kalaimagal sits on a white lotus; her consort Brahma sits on the lotus that rises from Vishnu's navel; the Veda in which she lives is a lotus; and her feet are lotuses too.\n\nThe closest of these lotuses is 'en manath thaamarai', the lotus of my heart. What she gave the poet was 'senjol thaar', a garland of fine words, and with those same words he now garlands her, as if giving back to the giver. That is why the verse does not end with 'I bow' but with 'vananguthume', 'let us all bow'.","story_title_ta":"\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd: \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bae \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2\u0bae\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baf \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0b95\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc0\u0bb4\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b8f\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9. \"\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd\" (\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd) \"\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\" (\u0b95\u0bc8) \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9c\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb7\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1.\n\n\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8, \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd: \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9e\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"Where the Lotus Fell: Pushkar","story_en":"From the Padma Purana. Brahma, the Creator, wished to perform a great sacrifice on earth. To find the right place for it, he let fall the lotus he held in his hand. The flower touched the earth in three places, and in each place clear water welled up and became a lake. Because the flower, pushpa, fell from his hand, kara, the place was called Pushkara.\n\nThere Brahma held his sacrifice. It is the town of Pushkar in present-day Rajasthan, home to one of the very few temples of Brahma, with a shrine of Goddess Savitri on the hill nearby.\n\nA lotus dropped from the Creator's hand gave rise to holy waters and a place of worship. In Kambar's verse the lotus works the same way: each lotus is a holy place, and the poet's own heart is one of them.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Is there a way to give a gift you have received back, in thanks, to the one who gave it?","image_prompt":"Goddess Saraswathi on a great white lotus at the centre of a lake, surrounded by smaller lotuses, four-faced Brahma on a lotus in the distance chanting from palm-leaf Vedas, a devotee's heart drawn as a glowing lotus, 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\/3943","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\/3943\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3943"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3943"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3943"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3943"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
