The worm has no way to fight back; the ants bite from every side and it can only writhe. So is the soul among the senses.\n\nThe same verse praises the feet that made Death shrink back, recalling Markandeya. The worm that cannot fight off even ants has, as its help, the feet that defeated Death himself.","story_title_ta":"\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf: '\u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b8f\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bcd?' \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb4\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd. \u0b87\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bae\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1; '\u0b89\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd, '\u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b86\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bae\u0bb0\u0b95\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9 \u0ba8\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0b87\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc7 \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1.

His wandering brought him to Uthirakosamangai, an ancient shrine in the south-east of the Pandya land.\n\nUthirakosamangai is very old. Temple tradition says that here the Lord taught Uma the secret meaning of the Vedas; 'uthiram' means teaching and 'kosam' a hidden treasure. It is honoured as a place where a thousand sages did penance, and as the home of a Nataraja carved from emerald. It is also called 'the first Chidambaram'.\n\nStanding in that temple with a breaking heart, the poet cried out in fifty verses, 'Do not forsake me, do not forsake me.' The Thiruvathavurar Puranam says the Lord, moved by his tears, appeared to him again in the very guru form he had shown at Perunthurai. That grace, 'I have not abandoned you; come to Thillai', set him walking once more. In every verse he calls on the 'King of Uthirakosamangai', in thanks for that returning grace.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf \u0ba4\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"Which small troubles have joined together to wear you down?","image_prompt":"An ancient temple at Uthirakosamangai at dawn, a weeping sage in white kneeling at the sanctum door, and inside a soft emerald glow where a gentle guru figure in saffron appears beneath a temple tree, holding out his hand; a temple tank and palms nearby.
