Nala, king of Nishadha, was famed for beauty, bravery and just rule. He married Damayanti and lived in great prosperity. But Kali, a dark power that haunted his court, fed his love of the game of dice.\n\nNala invited his kinsman King Pushkara to play. He lost, and went on losing until his kingdom, his treasury, his army and his ornaments were all gone. At the last he tore his one garment in two, dressed himself in the half, and wandered into the forest so changed that even Damayanti could not recognise him.\n\nIn a palace where six-flavoured feasts had once been served, a forest root now counted as a feast. His rare skill with horses earned him a place as charioteer to King Rituparna: the man who had been a king now held another man's reins.\n\nLater the tale says that he mastered the dice and won his kingdom back. But what matters for this verse is not the recovery; it is the fall. A man at the very summit of wealth could not, by means of that wealth, keep even his own garment. Nala's descent is meant as a warning to everyone, ourselves included.","reflection_ta":"\u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8.","reflection_en":"Life lies between the helping refused and the gruel begged for.","image_prompt":"Traditional South Indian temple-mural style painting, warm ochre, indigo and leaf-green palette, fine line work, set in ancient Tamil country: Even men who once ate six-flavoured meals, their wives seated beside them feeding them with love, and who waved away the second helping, may become poor and go begging wherever they hear that gruel is being given.
