One day in his garden he found a baby girl beneath a tulasi plant. Our tradition says that Bhumi Devi herself had come as a child. He named her Kothai and raised her.\n\nGrowing up on stories of Krishna, Kothai decided while still a child that the one she would marry was Krishna himself. In this very decade she says, 'If there is talk of marrying me to a mortal man, I will not live.'\n\nJust as the girls of Ayarpadi kept the Katyayani vow to win Krishna as their husband, Kothai keeps a vow in the months of Thai and Masi, worshipping Kamadeva, the god of love. Celebrating Kama in Panguni is an old Tamil custom. She decorates the street with sand, bathes before dawn, tends the fire, eats only once a day, and asks for one thing: 'Make me belong to the Lord of Venkatam.'\n\nThough she worships Kama, what she asks for is not desire but service: 'Grant me the fortune of being called the one who presses the feet of Kesava Nambi.' Serving the Lord, she says, is the highest purpose of womanhood.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb2\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bbe, \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"Is our mind aimed at one target, or scattered in many directions?","image_prompt":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/9619","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":2,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/9619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11021,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/9619\/revisions\/11021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=9619"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=9619"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=9619"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=9619"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=9619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
