Their foremost strength is the ability to bear hunger. To remain without food for days while keeping the mind focused is no easy task. In the Indian religious tradition fasting, the Ekadashi vow, the Shivaratri vigil and the Skanda Shashti fast are honoured as lofty austerities. Valluvar respects them, which is why he calls enduring hunger a real 'strength'.\n\nYet he says there is something one step higher: removing the hunger of others rather than merely bearing one's own. The phrase 'aatralin pin', 'comes after', places the first kind of strength second. Austerity is done for one's own elevation; giving is done for the lives of others. He who conquers his own hunger has conquered himself; he who conquers another's hunger has, in some measure, conquered the sorrow of the world. His strength is therefore greater.\n\nThe Upanishad echoes the same feeling. The Taittiriya Upanishad says, 'annam bahu kurveeta, tad vratam': to produce much food and share it is itself a vow. Feeding is the vow, not only going hungry. The deep teaching of our tradition is that the austerity that ends the sorrow of others is greater than the austerity that afflicts oneself.\n\nIt applies today too. Fasting is good, but feeding a poor person once the fast is over completes it. If we skip a meal and give the saved food or money to someone hungry, penance and charity become one. This is the path Valluvar shows.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bb0 \u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bb9\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcc\u0ba4\u0bae \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcc\u0ba4\u0bae \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf \u0b85\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb4\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9;

Gautama lived with his wife Ahalya in a hermitage in the Brahmagiri hills. Once the land suffered years without rain and a cruel famine followed. Fields dried, rivers shrank and people and animals died of hunger. Sages wandered from village to village seeking food.\n\nGautama had great power of austerity. He could have endured the hunger himself and continued his penance. He did not. He worshipped Varuna, who was pleased and gave him a pit of never-failing water. With that water Gautama raised rice and barley. Every day he cooked the grain and ran a free feeding hall. Thousands of sages and their families came and ate to their fill. Ahalya served them herself. He asked no one who he was or where he came from.\n\nAfter the famine ended, some sages could not bear Gautama's fame and grew jealous. They created a feeble illusory cow and let it graze in his field. When Gautama threw a handful of grass to drive it away, it fell dead. They accused him of killing a cow and drove him out of the hermitage.\n\nInsulted, Gautama did not rage. He worshipped Shiva. The Lord appeared and wished to punish the false sages. Gautama refused. \"They ate my food. Let no harm come to them. Only let Ganga come here to cleanse my sin,\" he asked. Shiva gave Ganga, who flowed as the Godavari, also called Gautami. The Lord settled there as Tryambakeshwara.\n\nGautama's greatness was not in bearing hunger but in sheltering the hungry. He used his strength of austerity to feed others. This tale is the best witness to the verse: removing another's hunger is a strength above enduring one's own.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Is my practice of discipline also turning into food and comfort for those who have less?","image_prompt":"A tall sage Gautama in an ochre cloth serving steaming rice from a copper vessel to a long row of hungry sages seated on leaves under a banyan tree, his wife Ahalya serving beside him, dry hills and a small clear pit of water behind, warm morning light, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/427","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\/427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2387,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/427\/revisions\/2387"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/92"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=427"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=427"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=427"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=427"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
