She was expecting a child. As the time drew near, her mother, who lived on the far bank of the Kaveri, promised to come and help her.\n\nBut that day a great flood came down the Kaveri. Her mother could not cross and stood helpless on the other bank. Here, Rathnavathi was in the pains of labour, with no one to help her. In tears she called on the Lord of the hill: 'My mother cannot come. You be my mother.'\n\nSoon there was a knock at the door. Someone in her mother's form came in, comforted her lovingly, helped her through the birth and placed the baby in her arms. For many days this 'mother' stayed and did everything a mother does for her daughter.\n\nWhen the flood went down, the real mother came running. Everyone was astonished to see two mothers in the same house. Then the one who had come first vanished and appeared as the Lord on the hill. From that day he has been called Thayumanavar, 'the one who became a mother as well'.\n\nIn Ananda Maalai Manikkavasagar sings, 'You who give the breast as a mother would' and 'Calling \"Mother!\", I came to your feet.' The one who came as a mother to a woman who called him 'Mother' will never abandon the devotee who asks, 'Am I alone not wanted?'","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd '\u0b95\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd' \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0b86\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9?","reflection_en":"Which 'strings' move you in your life?","image_prompt":"The rock fort temple of Thiruchirappalli on a hill above a flooding Kaveri river at dusk, a humble lamp-lit home below where a gentle motherly figure with a soft divine glow cradles a newborn beside a resting young mother, a woman waiting anxiously on the far riverbank, warm and tender light Warm palm-leaf manuscript and Tanjore-painting inspired style, ivory, ochre, copper and deep teal palette, ornate gold border, no text or letters in the image."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/8449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/verse"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/8449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9304,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/8449\/revisions\/9304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=8449"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=8449"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=8449"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=8449"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=8449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
