The king of Lanka came too, with his daughter, who had been mute from birth. The priests of Thillai were troubled. That night the Lord appeared in their dreams and said, 'Call the man from Thiruvathavur.'\n\nThe debate began before the Chola king. The Buddhist teacher mocked the Saiva faith while Manikkavasagar listened quietly. Then he turned to the king of Lanka and asked, 'Your daughter cannot speak. If she answers my questions, will you accept the truth of the Saiva way?' The king agreed.\n\nManikkavasagar asked question after question about the Lord's strange forms: 'He smears on white ash, he wears hissing serpents; who is he?' The princess, who had never spoken a word, answered in clear Tamil. Tradition says their dialogue of question and answer is the Thiruchazhal. Everyone in the hall was astonished. The Buddhist scholars who had been arguing fell mute themselves, and later, by Manikkavasagar's grace, their speech was restored. The king of Lanka and the Buddhist teacher embraced the Saiva way. This hymn of teasing questions and compassionate answers stands as a witness that truth is revealed not by argument but by grace.","reflection_ta":"\u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"In what joy have you ever forgotten yourself?","image_prompt":"In a pillared hall at Thillai before the Chola king, the saint Manikkavasagar in saffron with holy ash asks questions of a young princess of Lanka who answers with joyful raised hands, astonished robed scholars and courtiers around them, two girls playing the chazhal question game in the foreground, the golden hall of Nataraja beyond.
