It is the limit proper to each person: the return that suits his labour, the property that suits his right, the conduct that suits his station. To live inside that limit is dharma. Valluvar says that those intensely craving theft cannot stand within it. The word aatraar shows a state in which, even if he wished, he could not manage; craving has taken hold of him.\n\nCommentators give two senses of alavu. Some take it as the middle path of justice. Others take it as the limit set by one's own income and needs. The two join together without harming the verse's meaning: crossing the limit is the root of theft.\n\nIt is easy to see in a household where someone develops the habit of taking more than he needs. When the need has ended the craving has not; it asks for more and more. To satisfy it he reaches for what belongs to others. To prevent theft, therefore, one must know the limit of one's need. A mind that says \"enough\" is theft's first enemy, and the verse hints at this. Whoever knows his measure is full even with little, and whoever does not is lacking even with plenty.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bb0\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8; \u0b8e\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0bae\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb3\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bbe \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb3\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8.\n\n\u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.

A village temple in the Thanjavur country owned a paddy granary. Each year the villagers gave a part of their harvest to the deity. A man named Muthaiyan had the duty of measuring it by the marakkal and storing it. At festival time it was also his work to measure out the grain for the free feeding. The temple accountant came only now and then, so nobody checked Muthaiyan's measures.\n\nAt first he kept back a handful from each measure, telling himself, \"Only a handful. Does God not know?\" In some months the handful became two, and then a full measure. The hand that had lost its measure no longer knew how to stop. A \"thirst of craving\" held him. Even after his household's needs were filled he began to hide grain and sell it.\n\nIn one season the rains failed and the village suffered famine. The grain for the temple feeding was far too little. The elders measured the granary again and found a large gap. Muthaiyan's face went pale. He denied nothing. \"I should have stopped when I knew my need,\" he said, bowing his head. \"I became a man who could not stop.\"\n\nThe villagers forgave him but removed him from the office of measurer. He worked his own field and paid back the debt. Later he would often tell the young, \"Not even a handful beyond need.\" The price that craving without measure had cost him was his lesson.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd '\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc1' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1? \u0b85\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 '\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"Where in your life has 'a little more' quietly become a habit, and what would 'enough' look like there?","image_prompt":"A village temple granary with a measurer pouring paddy into a wooden marakkal measure while villagers wait with baskets, a small shrine and a banyan tree behind, warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, 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\/488","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\/488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2399,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/488\/revisions\/2399"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/98"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=488"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=488"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=488"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=488"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
