One day a Brahmin came to his house and asked humbly, 'Sir, please recite all the songs you have sung in so many places, and I will write them down.' Manikkavasagar began with the Sivapuranam and recited hymn after hymn, and the Brahmin wrote each one on palm leaves.\n\nThen he asked, 'With the mouth that sang the Pavai, sing a kovai as well.' Manikkavasagar sang the Thirukkovaiyar, and that too was written down. When the writing was done, the Brahmin vanished. At dawn the next day the bundle of palm leaves was found lying on the five-syllable steps of the Thillai temple, and at its end was a signature: 'Written as Thiruvathavurar recited it, by the Lord of the Little Hall.'\n\nThe priests of Thillai were amazed and came to Manikkavasagar to ask what these songs meant. He led them into the Little Hall, pointed to Nataraja and said, 'He is their meaning.' Tradition says that in that very moment he merged into the Lord's feet and was seen no more. This is why Saivas honour the Thiruvasagam as a book written by the Lord himself, and why they say that one who does not melt at Thiruvasagam will melt at no words at all.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0ba9\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Have you known a moment of grace while fully awake, too real to be a dream?","image_prompt":"Young women in a circle in a temple courtyard at Thillai, clapping their hands and dancing the thellenam, while inside the golden hall a radiant Brahmin sits writing on palm leaves as the saint Manikkavasagar recites with folded hands, Nataraja dancing in the glowing sanctum.
