Velpari:kabilar and neelan conversation
Kapilar didn't notice his appearance...it was the speed with which he came. The ascendant was going ahead past Kapila.He has no time to stand and talk.
He asked while walking May I know who you are?” Kabila blinked at him.He seemed to disappear before answering. He raised his voice. "Kabilar."
I didn't ask for the name. "Who ?" I asked.
Kabila stumbled slightly in the headwind.To the trouble His mind told him that the wind
was not the cause.I am Pulavan( poeter)kabilar says.
"Panar kulam(clan)?" - He kept walking as asked. Kabila had to do three things: look at him, focus on the path, and answer.“No... Panars are singers. Musicians, artists. I am not them. I am a poeter; to write
Learned.” While finishing the answer, the question came...
"
Writing means..?"
On a trail that climbs the mountain, at such a distance A conversation?
The breath refused to cooperate in replying out loud. But Kapil said out loud...
"Have you ever painted a tree?"
“I have seen... a lot of trees in the cave rock
are sketched.”
“Similarly, writing is the painting of the sound we speak.” His pace slowed down a bit.kabila
understood that he was thinking.Kapil felt confident come that he would be able to stop that man a little.
"what is your name?"
"Neelan"
"Come here... I'll show you a drawing," said Kabila, bent down and picked up a dry stick. He quickly came closer. Noting that kabilar scratched his name in the dirt with a stick.
A smile appeared on his lips when he saw it.
He started walking again, "Am I like being undigested fly in the dung of an elephant?"
While they talking The headwind hit again and sent Kapil reeling. Neelan was going fast. Kapil started liking him.His speed, his tight body, the glint of a warrior, his small eyes, the questions that arise from his heart, the spear is going so fast when he has it in his hand, how fast will he throw it?' Kapilar thought and decided that we will start the question in this gap.
"Are you married?"
"No... It will happen soon" - he said after a short pause, "I'm coming back to leaving just seeing her.
"Where is she?"
“There... her hut is behind that hill.
Behind that mountain?” - The length of the sound told the feeling. "Do you come this far every day?" "I will come back twice a day. I will visit here twice in a some days.”
Kapil's crush on him grew stronger. a picture formed in his mind of him swinging daily between two hills like a swing. Neelan broached the question
The woman's magazine is so tasteful, how come?”
That smile came and sat on Kapil's lips.
kabilar caughts neelan mind That he wanted to put him on the swing.Well... he thought it would be enough to slow him down so he come to answer but neelan rise next question before kabila's answering.
"Are you married?"
“No.”
So I ask you this question Shouldn't have asked?"
To answer only if he stop at a certain place,He jumps three times in an instant. Kapilar thought how to stop him, "You are also not married." “I am a hero.”
Kapil was stunned. What did he come to tell about me? when Thinking , neelan continued his answer...
"We never know when war will break out, when Enemies surround Parambu country. My son must come and stand, To step forward, clasping my spear As I lean on the battlefield.
A warrior's life is too short, we have no time to live comfortably, learn all the alphabets, travel from country to country, and walk a distance of 1 kaadha dhuram walks in 3 naligai (16 kilometers walks in 72 hours)
Kapilar felt as if the swing was just falling.Kapil did not speak to him until he set foot on the hunter rock's second cliff. Couldn't make a prediction about him. Whatever he creates, he destroys it the next moment. His answers are sharper than the lance in his hand. Mind did not accept that he could not be predicted. One thing is understood. His gait must have gone somewhere.Since he didn't go like that, Kapilar speculated that neelan is taking kabilar with him
After a while he broke the silence and started talking, “How far is pari's Parambu Hill
Is there?
“The name of this country is Parambunadu; The name of the mountain where Pari is located is Adimalai. It was on that hill that Maviran(warrior), who founded the Velir clan, built the capital "yavi".
From the songs sung by the Panars who came to the land. We guess many things.But, true Wondering how vast it was,
Kapila asked, “Is Pari's kingship taking place from there.The question made Neelan laugh. “pari is not the king. He is the head of the Velir clan. You think the forest is ruled like the country is ruled. No one can rule the forest. What can a little man do?Enmity, treachery, valor, death, that's it. But look at the forest, countless living beings, each with immeasurable potential. If you put a green leaf in your mouth, you will die instantly. A single budding leaf is enough to end your life.
Can you decide if the forest is made of leaves, trees, animals, rocks, birds or horns?
He kept on talking. At one point Kapil could not follow his speech.
The words were rolling like a Rocks. He took time to catch his breath. Realizing he had stopped, he looked back and said,Our feet are used to walking hold on the soil. You Living in the plains, your feet are used to rubbing the soil.. Take the foot off and place the foot forward. For the fingers as for the teeth Knows how to hold.”After all these years someone is teaching him how to walk. In adolescence Is this how you used to cheat to walk?
Sirur King, Mudugudi King, Kurnila King, Chera, Chola, Pandya Movendras, excellent experts in education, monks,"In these times that have passed away with so many wealthy merchants, language, knowledge and wisdom have always remained in me.But never did the memory of my mother appear. In the moment
He took me to my mother's lap, Who is he that goes before?
”Kapil took off his feet with some emotion and walked towards him. He reached the top of the hill and awaited his arrival. He approached the top panting. The layers of the great mountain range were visible in front.
Neelan said… “The first layer is called 'Karamalai'. If you stand on top of it, you can see the third layer... that is Adimalai.”When he reached the top, the wind came with unprecedented speed and pushed him. He turned his body slightly to compensate for the speed of the wind and looked in the opposite direction. The long mountain range seemed to beckon him with outstretched arms.
Neelan started down the slope. "Now we have to walk faster. There is little time for into the night. If the sun passes over the edge of the mountain, darkness envelops us within a palm's distance. After that it is difficult for you to walk. Come soon." As he said then jump and slide.Kabila started to descend quickly, trying to walk faster, avoiding the bushes as he saw that he was not walking but skipping. No matter how high the person in front of you climbs, you can see him. Not when landing down.His figure disappeared here and there. So Kapilar asked, walking carefully, realizing that he could only follow him if he gave a speech
“Are forests made of horns? How did you said that?”
“Have you thought that horns are the horns of beasts? I said the horns of the trees.”
Kapil did not understand. He stretched his neck.It is not known which bush he is crossing. He shouted loudly...
"You mean horns are horns?"
“No... we call also tree roots is horns. A tree doesn't grow upwards... it grows downwards. It penetrates hard soil and black rock with its horns. All the energy of the tree is in its horns.
Its horns are longer than its body.”
Kabilar thoughts what he learned all of its turns opposite by neelan,The forward right leg tripped. The foot slipped and fell on the small rock. Kapilar held on to the plant beside him and stopped him from falling down.
When he heard the sound of stones rolling, Neelan came up quickly and Kapilar stood with his hand on the vamp next to him. He said, 'Sit for a while', held the feet with his palms and pulled the muscles. Looking at his face, "Shall we walk?" He said.
Kabilar eyes tells "wait a some more", He took the opportunity to relieve himself. Neem flowers were falling all around. He took the flowers and placed them in his palm and stared. The flowers swayed in the breeze.
If give a speech, we can extend the sitting time a little
Kapilar thought, "Do you know who owns the neem flower?
neelan says. "Belonging to the ant." Kapil got nervous.
“I didn't asked that. Do you know who should to wear the neem wreath?” After asking that, he was nervous that neelan would give any wierd answer
So He also answered...
“Belonging to the Pandya king.”
“Alright… just start walking. "I will take you from nearby," he said.
Kapil started walking. Foot while reaching
It was as if the nerves were burning. The lower limb of the sun touched the head of Karamalai.
He asked as he walked ahead... "Have you seen the field crab?"
Thinking that he was asking out of context,
"I have seen" he said.
“The eyes of field crabs are like neem flowers. Will your Pandian wear field crab as a garland?” - As he asked, he jumped front with a smile.
Kabila was stunned. An ordinary warrior speaks in such a low manner about the greatest warrior.Listening to this seemed unvirtuous. Before this thought was complete, the poet within him awoke and came out.What a beautiful parable? How did he make such an apt comparison in an instant. Does not parables come to one who is enveloped in love? Thoughts running through his mind, Kapilar asked…
“Field crab are the eyes like that... aren't the eyes of a sea crab like that?”
“I don't know. I have not seen the sea. But as the water and the land change, so does the form.”
“Every human being is born to see the ocean
"Why?"
“It is so vast and vast... immeasurable.”
Neelan, who was going ahead, suddenly turned back
He looked at Kapil and asked... "greater than our Pari's mercy?"
Kapilar shrank inwardly.
