Pranam 1 அதிகாரம்/Chapter: அன்புடைமை / The Possession of Love <https://www.ytamizh.com/thirukural/chapter-8/> குறள் 72 <https://www.ytamizh.com/thirukural/kural-72/>:அன்பிலார் எல்லாம் தமக்குரியர் அன்புடையார் என்பும் உரியர் பிறர்க்கு. English Couplet 72: The loveless to themselves belong alone;The loving men are others' to the very bone Couplet Explanation:Those who are destitute of love appropriate all they have to themselves; but those who possess love consider even their bones to belong to others Transliteration(Tamil to English):anpilaar ellaam thamakkuriyar anputaiyaarenpum uriyar piRarkku 2 Bone of contention arose because the bones and DNAs are living as truth and the fact finders even for a millennium years. 3 Long long ago there was a demon named Vritrasura. He was full of pride. He started a battle with the Deities <https://www.hindujagruti.org/hinduism-for-kids/cid_25.html>. He was so powerful that the Deities were finding it difficult to defeat him. In order to seek guidance about how defeat the demon, Indra, the king of Deities went to Bhagawan Vishnu. Bhagawan Vishnu suggested that a weapon made from the bones of Dadhichi Rishi (Sage) would be able to vanquish the demon.
All the Deities were now facing a dilemma. Because Dadhichi Rishi was a very loving, helpful and calm Sage. How should they ask such a holy man for his own bones? Bhagawan Vishnu advised Deity Indra to go to Dadhichi Rishi and explain everything to him in detail, as after hearing their plight Dadhichi Rishi would happily end his life and give his bones for making the weapon. Deity Indra along with his retinue went to Dadhichi Rishi. The noble sage heartily welcomed everyone and politely asked Indra the reason for his visit. Indra said, “We have all come to you to ask for something. We need a weapon to destroy Vritrasura. We need your bones to make that weapon. We cannot do this without your assistance.” Dadhichi Rishi immediately replied, “I shall give up my life and surrender my body to you. Then you can do whatever you want.” With the help of His Yogic powers Dadhichi Rishi gave up his life. The Deities removed the bones from his body and crafted the powerful Vajrayudha (thunderbolt weapon). With powerful mantras guiding the Vajrayudha the Deities were able to destroy Vritrasura. Moral :Dear Children, we are not ready to give even the smallest of our possessions to anyone. But see how quickly Dadhichi Rishi was ready to give up even His life to destroy the demon. This shows how great our Rishis are ! We too shall try to sacrifice our possessions for good purposes and keep this bright tradition alive ! 4 Tiruvalluar said that only in the second line K R IRS 19321 On Thu, 18 Mar 2021 at 19:49, 'gopala krishnan' via iyer123 < [email protected]> wrote: > *BONE-ELUMBU- ELLAU* > > I was recollecting the proverb in Malayalam- *Ellu muriyae panithal, > Pallumuriyae thinnam.* If you work hard there will be no difficulty for > living.
