When gold is rubbed on the touchstone its purity shows. In the same way, says Valluvar, to know whether a person is great or small, his own deeds are the touchstone.\n\nWhat a person says about himself does not matter. The praise others give him is not always true. His position, family and wealth also do not show his inner nature. But the deeds he does, especially how he behaves in difficult moments, reveal his real nature.\n\nGreatness is known by doing good to others, keeping dharma even in suffering, humility and courage. Smallness shows in selfishness, falsehood, cruelty and haste. Each of these appears in some act or in the failure to act.\n\nA practical lesson follows. Before trusting someone, look at what he has done so far. A record of action is more reliable than promises. If someone has acted honestly for many years, he may be trusted.\n\nThe same measure can be applied to ourselves. Whatever we think of ourselves, our deeds decide our greatness or smallness.\n\nThe touchstone does not spoil gold; it shows its quality. Deeds likewise show a person's true colour. So patient observation of actions is the way to a good choice.\n\nValluvar is thus giving a test that anyone can apply without special skill: simply watch what the person does when it costs him something.","story_title_ta":"\u0b85\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd

Harishchandra","story_en":"From the Markandeya Purana: Harishchandra, king of Ayodhya, was famed as one who always spoke the truth. In the assembly of the gods the sage Vasishtha praised him. But Vishvamitra did not accept it. \"Let us test him. He will fail in truth,\" he said. There began the trial that would rub Harishchandra's greatness on the touchstone.\n\nVishvamitra asked the king for a gift and received his whole kingdom. Then he demanded the sacrificial fee and took even what remained. Harishchandra sold his wife Chandramati and his son Rohitashva in Kashi. He himself worked as a keeper of the cremation ground, burning the dead. Even in cruel poverty he did not utter a falsehood.\n\nOne day Chandramati brought to the cremation ground the body of their son, who had died of a snake bite. She had no fee. Though he knew it was his own son, Harishchandra did not fail in his duty. \"I cannot cremate without the fee,\" he said. Chandramati offered a portion of her garment.\n\nAt that moment the gods appeared. Shiva and others praised Harishchandra's truth and steadfastness. Rohitashva rose alive. The lost kingdom returned to Harishchandra, and even Vishvamitra accepted his greatness.\n\nHarishchandra's fame was what others said; what proved his greatness was his deed. His conduct, which held to truth however great the suffering, became his touchstone.","reflection_ta":"\u0b95\u0b9f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b86\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"If your deeds over the past year were the only evidence, what would a stranger conclude about your character?","image_prompt":"King Harishchandra as a keeper of the cremation ground by the river at Kashi, with Chandramati holding her son's body, Shiva and the gods appearing in the sky, Vishvamitra bowing, scene from the Markandeya Purana, 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\/707","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\/707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2211,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/707\/revisions\/2211"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adhigaram\/120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
