Mmgl Part 014-002 - Indran's Anger

"Indran became angry then. He ordered, "The deities in the heaven They should turn the earth golden So, none will go to Aaputhiran." THE POSITION OF THE SEAT "Pandian Kingdom suffered With no rains it dried For nearly twelve years And people lived in fears." "Indran brought plenty of rains, And more than sufficient grains, So, none knew what hunger was. The time went on like this." "To Aaputhiran's place came lovers, Loafers, gamblers and dancers, For want of charitable activities. Due to Indran's cunningness." AAPUTHIRAN WENT OUT "Aaputhiran went out of the temple "Anyone to eat? " He asked the people. They laughed at him and said "Who's this fellow who's mad? " "He wasn't required by anyone. His food was wanted by none. He walked all the way alone, As expected by Lord Indran." THOSE WHO CAME TOLD "From the sea boat some men, They directly came down, To meet and tell Aaputhiran On the misery of another town." They said, "In our town There's no drop of rain People with hunger pain They died one by one." HE GOT INTO THE BOAT "By the order of Indran, He got no hungry man, So, he got into the boat, The hungry people to host." "At Manipallavam Island The boat had to land As in the rough wind, It couldn't go beyond." "From the boat they got down. Aaputhiran also went down. When the sea was calm by night, They woke up and sailed the boat." "Aaputhiran was left behind. They thought he had joined. The boat went far ahead, Leaving him in the island." SAD AT MANIPALLAVAM "Aaputhiran felt very sad, Left alone in the island. There was none living there. Nor anyone to take care." "His life became useless, And he was there helpless. Of what use the bowl was? Quite often, he thought of this." AAPUTHIRAN DIED "In the ‘Gomuki' tank water He dropped the bowl forever, And said to it, "Once in a year You come out and appear." "If any monk comes to this land, You can go to his or her hand." He then observed fasting strictly. And gave up his life slowly." HE TOLD ME "On those days I went to him. What the problem was I asked him. Whatever troubling his mind He told me and I could find." DEATH AND BIRTH "The sun rose in the east And it set in the west. Like this, the deceased Aaputhiran He was again born as cow's son."
