For 'irupunal' Parimelazhagar means spring water and rain water. Others take it as stored water like wells and tanks, together with flowing river water. Still others take it as upper and lower waters. In any case the point is that water should be of several kinds.\n\nHills help a land in two ways. They draw rain and give birth to rivers, and they stand as a natural barrier to enemies. 'Varupunal' is river water coming down from the hills, the lifeline of farming and drinking water. 'Vallaran' is a strong defensive structure such as a fort. Since the next chapter is wholly about fortresses, this is a preview.\n\nThus water, hills, rivers and fortresses show the natural and man-made limbs a land needs. Nature gives water and hills; man builds the fortress. When both join, the land prospers.\n\nThe couplet reminds us today that protecting water bodies and conserving forests and hills is a duty of both government and people.\n\nThe tanks and dams built by ancient Tamil kings put the idea of this couplet into practice. A full tank served not only irrigation but also kept the groundwater level. Hill forests brought rain. It is worth noting that, keeping this relation in mind, the ancients revered hills and rivers as divine and protected them. Such reverence was in fact a form of conservation that has lasted for ages.","story_title_ta":"\u0b85\u0b95\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1;

It is a puranic tradition, with small differences from text to text. The south had no rain and the land was dry. Some traditions say that Kaveri, daughter of the sage Kavera in Kodagu, did severe penance and received from Brahma the boon of becoming a sacred river useful to people, and that she later married the sage Agastya.\n\nTradition says Agastya kept Kaveri's waters in his kamandalu, and carried it south because the south needed water. The sweet story goes that once on the way he set the vessel down and went to bathe, and Ganesha came in the form of a crow and tipped it over. The water surged and began to flow as a river. That is said to be the Kaveri.\n\nWhen Agastya chased the crow, Ganesha appeared as a boy. The sage in anger came to rap his head, but on realising that he was Ganesha, he understood his mistake and rapped his own head. This is said to be the origin of the custom of rapping the temples before Ganesha.\n\nThus Kaveri flowed as the river that enriched the land of Tamil Nadu. The whole Chola country was green with paddy fields. The name 'Ponni' recalls that abundance. Tamils still worship Kaveri at the Aadi Perukku festival.\n\nThe limbs of a land, water, hill and river, appear together in this tale.
