Manuneedhi Cholan


          King Manuneethi Cholan had hung a huge bell in front of his palace . He announced that anyone seeking justice could ring the bell and their voice will be heard.
          One day the young prince went around the city in his chariot. People cheered him where ever he went and welcomed him by beating drums and  with pipes. An young calf terrified with the loud noises ran berserk and got itself crushed under the wheels of the prince's chariot. The mother of the calf helplessly watched its little one die .The cow walked to the palace gates and rang the huge bell demanding justice from the king. The king came out and saw the cow,he learnt from his courtiers the death of the young calf under the wheels of his son's chariot.
          King Manuneethi Cholan kept his promise , he ordered his son to be killed for his recklessness. The prince was killed the same way the calf had died ,he was crushed under the wheels of the chariot .The king went through the same pain the cow had as he witnessed his son die and thereby being just at all cost.

As a King his justice may be correct.

But the net result is nothing but his suffering, like the same cow lost its calf.

Sad ending story, is it not?

OK. It is a story we studied in our childhood & school days.

Good narration with appropriate pictures. Best Wishes. vgk

The son's name was Veedhividangan. The story further says that impressed by the justice of the king, Lord Shiva blessed him and brought back the calf and his son alive.

வடலூர் திரு அருட்பிரகாச வள்ளலார் எழுதிய மனுமுறைகண்ட வாசகம் இந்த அரசரை பற்றியும் அவருக்கு திருவாரூர் தியாகேச பெருமானின் அருளால் வீதிவிடங்கன் பிறந்தது,தன் மகனின் கோயில் பயணத்தின்போது பசுங்கன்று தேரின் சக்கரத்தில் விழுந்து கொல்லப்பட்டது,பசு நீதி மணியை அடித்தது,பிறகு மன்னரும் அவ்வாறே தன் மகனையும்தேரின் சக்கரத்தில் வைத்து கொன்றது..இதைக்கண்ட சிவபெருமானார் காட்சிகொடுத்து..அரசரின் வழுவாத நீதியை மெச்சி அனைவரையும் உயிர்த்தெழ செய்தது...என அருமையாக விளக்கி உள்ளார்கள். அதற்கான லிங்க்...Manumurai Kanda Vaasagam
