One day, chasing a wild boar, he came to the hill of Kalahasti. When he saw a linga on the hilltop, his heart melted. 'My Father is here all alone. Who will bring him food?' he worried.\n\nHe knew nothing of the rules of worship. He filled his mouth with river water and poured it over the linga; he decked it with the flowers he had worn in his own hair; he offered meat he had roasted with care and tasted himself to be sure it was good. All night he stood guard with his bow. In the morning the priest Sivagochariyar, who performed the daily worship, was distressed to see all this. The Lord came to him in a dream and said, 'Hide tomorrow and watch.'\n\nThe next day, when Thinnan came, blood was flowing from one eye of the linga. Frantic, he put on healing herbs, but the blood did not stop. Thinking 'flesh heals flesh', he gouged out his own eye with his arrow and pressed it on; the bleeding stopped, and he danced for joy. Then the other eye began to bleed. To mark the spot, he planted his sandalled foot on it and raised his arrow to his second eye. At that moment the Lord's hand came out and caught his hand, and a voice said three times, 'Stop, Kannappa!' His sight was restored and he was named Kannappar, 'the one who gave his eye'. The Lord granted that he would stand forever at his right side; he is remembered as the saint who reached release in six days. When Manikkavasagar sings that the Lord took him even after seeing he had no love like Kannappan's, it is by this love that he measures himself.","reflection_ta":"\u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Can you see grace arriving in your life little by little?","image_prompt":"A golden king bee flying towards the glowing lotus feet of dancing Nataraja in the golden hall of Thillai, and in a side panel the hunter-saint Kannappar on the hill of Kalahasti, his foot on the linga and arrow raised to his eye, as the Lord's hand emerges to stop him.
