Ganesha is Shiva's son, so what He first gives is His father's holy name. The five syllables return at the very end of the Agaval (line 69). This mantra holds the whole poem at both ends.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0b9c\u0bae\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9

Mouse","story_en":"From the Kanda Puranam. The demon Gajamukha performed fierce penance and won a boon: 'Let no weapon ever bring my death.' With that power he oppressed the gods. Every day he forced them to stand before him and do thoppukaranam, holding their ears and bobbing up and down in submission.\n\nThe gods appealed to Shiva, and Shiva sent Ganesha. Ganesha fought the demon. Knowing that no weapon could kill him, Ganesha broke off one of His own tusks and hurled it. That tusk, which was no weapon, pierced the demon's chest.\n\nThe fallen demon turned into a huge bandicoot and leapt at Him again. Ganesha climbed onto it and sat upon it. At that very moment the demon's pride was destroyed. He bowed to Ganesha and was blessed to be His vehicle forever.\n\nThe thoppukaranam the gods were once forced to do before a demon, we now do before Ganesha with love. Even the one who was struck down receives grace: He takes even His enemy as His own, as a mother would.","reflection_ta":"\u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Has there been a moment in your life when you felt grace coming toward you, rather than you going to seek it?","image_prompt":"Lord Ganesha riding a large dark mouse that bows its head in surrender, the broken tusk in his hand glowing, a plate of mango, jackfruit and banana before him, grateful devas with folded hands in the sky, 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\/4125","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\/4125\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=4125"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=4125"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=4125"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=4125"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=4125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
