The root of devotion: those who read it realise 'He alone is God'. The root of books: the later Vaishnava commentaries and works all grew from it. The root of liberation: those who wish to end rebirth walk by its way.\n\nIn the first line it is 'the clear primal nectar that sweetens'. Roots are usually bitter, but this root is sweet. That deep philosophy and sweet poetry live together in it is what makes the Thiruvaimozhi unique.","story_title_ta":"\u0b86\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba3\u0bb5 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b86\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd (\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd) \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba3\u0bb5 \u0b9a\u0bae\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b9e\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb2\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b86\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd: \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd;

Alavandar, also called Yamunacharya, the grandson of Nathamuni, led the Vaishnava community at Srirangam. Hearing of the young Ramanuja, he wished to meet him. But before Ramanuja could reach Srirangam, Alavandar passed away.\n\nWhen Ramanuja arrived, three fingers of Alavandar's right hand were folded. Ramanuja understood these as three unfulfilled wishes and made three vows: to write a commentary on the Brahma Sutras; to honour the name of Parashara, who gave the Vishnu Purana; and to establish the glory of Nammalvar and the Thiruvaimozhi. Tradition says that as he spoke each vow, one finger straightened.\n\nRamanuja fulfilled all three. For the third, he named a disciple Thirukkurugai Piran and had him write a commentary on the Thiruvaimozhi. The Thiruvaimozhi was among a great teacher's last wishes; no wonder Kambar praises it as 'the root of devotion, the root of scripture, the root of liberation'.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \"\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc1? \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"What is the 'root' of your life, the source from which your beliefs and values grow?","image_prompt":"The young saint Ramanuja kneeling with folded hands before the body of an elderly teacher whose right hand has three folded fingers, one finger beginning to straighten, a palm-leaf Thiruvaimozhi glowing beside them in a Srirangam hall, 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\/3985","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/3985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4090,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/3985\/revisions\/4090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=3985"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=3985"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=3985"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=3985"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=3985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
