It was called koodal izhaithal, drawing the koodal. With eyes shut, they would draw a large circle in the sand. If the two ends of the circle met exactly, the beloved would come; if they did not, he would not. In this decade Andal looks at that circle and pleads, 'If he will come, then close, koodal!'\n\nIn each pasuram she recalls one of Krishna's heroic deeds. One of them took place in Mathura. Kamsa invited Krishna and Balarama to a festival of the bow, and stationed a great elephant in musth, Kuvalayapeedam, at the gate of the arena. The mahout drove the elephant at them. Krishna fought it as if at play, brought it down, pulled out its tusk, and walked into the arena with the tusk on his shoulder.\n\nIn the arena he defeated the wrestlers Chanura and Mushtika, and at last leapt onto the high platform where Kamsa sat and brought him down. Then he freed his mother and father, Devaki and Vasudeva, from prison.\n\nAndal recounts all these deeds and pleads with the koodal: will he who did all this not come to me? This decade shows every stage of love: sulking, union, understanding and embrace.","reflection_ta":"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcb\u0bae\u0bbe?","reflection_en":"In the frightening places of our life, do we remember the Lord?","image_prompt":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/9651","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\/9651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11054,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/verse\/9651\/revisions\/11054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kural_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kural_section?post=9651"},{"taxonomy":"literary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/literary_category?post=9651"},{"taxonomy":"author_poet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_poet?post=9651"},{"taxonomy":"thinai_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinai_type?post=9651"},{"taxonomy":"work_title","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tamil.one\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_title?post=9651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
