The one beyond all words came into words in Manikkavasagar's songs; the Thiruvasagam itself is the proof, the Lord's presence turned into language. 'For all the world to know' means that experience was made public for everyone.\n\nThe stone heart melting and the Lord becoming words are two sides of one grace. Melting words are born from a heart that has melted, which is why the Thiruvasagam melts its readers too.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bcb\u0bb4 \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b9e\u0bb2\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b8a\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bbf, '\u0b87\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd' \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9. \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0ba3\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0b86\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bae\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf, \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0baa\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bc7\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1;

While still a boy he mastered the Vedas and understood that their meaning is Siva. One day he saw the village cowherd beating a cow, and in distress he said, 'From now on I will tend them myself.'\n\nUnder his loving care the cows thrived, and at the sight of him they let down their milk of their own accord. Not wanting it to go to waste, he made a linga of river sand, decked it with flowers, milked the cows into pots, and bathed the linga with the milk in worship. He did this every day, and the village never lacked milk. Still, someone complained to Echadattan that his son was pouring the cows' milk out on the sand.\n\nThe next day the father hid behind a tree and watched. Seeing his son absorbed in worship, he flew into a rage, ran up and beat him, and kicked over the pots of milk. Lost in worship, the boy did not feel the blows; but when the milk was spilled he knew an offence had been done against Siva. He picked up a stick lying nearby and flung it. It became an axe and cut his father's legs, and the boy returned to his worship.\n\nThen the Lord appeared with Uma on the bull, embraced the boy and said, 'For my sake you struck down the father who begot you. From now on I am your father.' He placed the konrai garland from his own hair on the boy, made him Chandesvara, guardian of the Lord's possessions, and granted him a share of the food, cloth and garlands offered to the Lord. The father too was restored and given release. To this day, at the end of worship in a Siva temple, devotees bow at Chandesvara's shrine and show that they carry away nothing that belongs to the temple. When Thiruthol Nokkam sings that 'the crime became his food', this is the story.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"When have you put an inner experience into words?","image_prompt":"A young Brahmin boy seated on a sandy riverbank bathing a small sand linga with milk from clay pots, cows gathered around him with milk flowing, Siva and Uma appearing above on a white bull to place a konrai garland on him, and in the foreground girls with hands on one another's shoulders dancing in a ring at Thillai.
