This beauty is not only beautiful: she is 'marai naangum uraippaval', the one who utters the four Vedas. She is the very speech of the Veda. If Brahma the Creator stands melting at her threshold, it means that without the word and without knowledge nothing can be created. Kalaimagal gives the word even to the one who makes the world.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bb9\u0baf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb3\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf. \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b95\u0bc8\u0b9f\u0baa\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bb9\u0baf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0bb5 \u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0baf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb9\u0baf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0bb0\u0bc0\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0ba3\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \"\u0b9e\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1;

At the end of a great deluge Brahma, seated on the lotus from Vishnu's navel, began to create the world again, with the Vedas as his guide. Then from two drops of water on a lotus leaf arose two asuras, Madhu and Kaitabha. They snatched the Vedas from Brahma and hid in the depths of the ocean.\n\nWithout the Vedas Brahma could create nothing. He prayed to Vishnu. Vishnu took the form of Hayagriva, with the head of a horse, went down to the ocean floor and sang the sweet chant of the Sama Veda. While the asuras were lost in the music, he took up the Vedas, brought them back to Brahma, and later overcame the asuras.\n\nThat is why Hayagriva is worshipped as a god of learning and wisdom, and students still recite the hymn that begins 'Jnanananda mayam devam'. The story shows that without the Veda there is no creation, and Kambar's verse says the same.","reflection_ta":"\u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe? \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba8\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"Have you seen beauty and wisdom living in the same place: in a book, a person, a place?","image_prompt":"Goddess Saraswathi in white with long dark eyes and a moon-like glow, seated at the threshold of a celestial hall while four-faced Brahma stands with folded hands, four palm-leaf Veda bundles shining beside her, 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\/3944","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\/3944\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3944"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3944"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3944"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3944"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
