Chapter 13 

The Waxing Moon

After the princesses' chariot disappeared from sight, the astrologer took Vandiyathevan into the house. He sat on his throne. He asked Avvalipan, who was looking around, to sit down too; he looked him up and down.

"Brother! Who are you? Where did you come from?" he asked. Vandiyathevan laughed.

"What, are you laughing?"

"No, you're asking me questions about such a famous astrologer? Shouldn't astrology itself tell you who I am and why I came to you?"

"Oh! What's the point? I'll take care of it. But if I get a fortune every day, I wonder who will give me the fortune."

Vandiyathevan raised his hand and asked, "Astrologer! Who are the people who have just come here? Who are they?"

"Oh! Them? I know who you're asking about. I know, brother, I know! You were here when you dragged my disciple inside, you're asking about them, right? You're asking about them, aren't you? They got into the chariot and left, kicking up dust behind them, aren't they?"

The Kudanthai astrologer asked, circling around.

"Yes, yes! I just heard about them..."

"Listen carefully. Who said you shouldn't? They're both women!"

"I knew it myself; astrologer! I'm not blind, I can tell the difference between men and women. I can even tell if it's a man disguised as a woman."

"What are you asking for later?"

"If they are women, who are they? What caste?"

"Oh! Is that what you're asking? There are four castes of women: Padmini, Sindhi, Gandharmi, and Vidyadhari. It seems you have some training in Samudrika Lakshana Shastra. Of those four castes, these are the Padmini and Gandharvi castes."

belong to"

"You sheep!..."

"Why? Father!"

"If I call upon God, you ask, 'What?'"

"What's the big deal about that? Haven't you heard that God is omnipresent? It seems you don't have that much respect for elders! The God within me is God, the God within you is God. The one you dragged inside is God..."

"Enough, enough, stop"

"It was God who told me to talk all this time; it is God who is telling me to stop now!"

"Astrologer! Now that they've left here, who are those women? I asked them which town, what clan, and my name. If you answer without evasiveness.."

"What will you give me, father?"

"I will give my respects."

"Keep your greetings to yourself. If you have any gifts to give, tell me!"

"If I give you a golden gift, will you tell me for sure?"

"I'll tell you only if it's worth telling! Brother! Listen to this, many people will come and go to Jyothi's house. You shouldn't tell anyone about someone else. Now I won't tell anyone about the Polavas. If anyone else asks about you, I won't tell them a single word about you."

"Ah! What Alwarkadiyannambi said about you is absolutely true."

"Is it Alwarkadi? Who is he? Someone like that?"

"Don't you know, what? You spoke as if you knew them so well? Haven't you ever heard of Alwarkadiyan Nambi?"

"Maybe you know the person; I can't remember the name. Tell me a little bit about yourself, and we'll see!"

"He is short and stocky, has a thorny beard. He wears a dhoti tied tightly around his waist. He rubs sandalwood all over his body from bottom to top. If he sees Saivas, he goes to fight. If he sees Advaitis, he raises his stick. Just a moment ago, you said, 'You are God, I am God,' if you, the Azhwar, had heard this, you would have said, 'God is attacking God!' and come and beat him with a stick..."

"Dhampir, if you look at everything you're saying, it seems like you're talking about Thirumalaiyappan..*

"Does he have different names like that?"

"That brave Vaishwar will give a name to the village."

"He will also make you wear a suitable costume!"

"Oh! He will also dress appropriately for the occasion."

"Maybe there's a bit of imagination and lies mixed into what you're saying?"

"There will be three-quarters of a turn of the wind lying and imagination: there may also be half a turn of the wind truth."

"Tell me you're a very wicked man!"

"You can't say that. Good for the good: evil for the evil."

"You can't do anything based on his words."

"Believing or not believing depends on the individual's speech."

"For example, he said that if you go to them and ask an astrologer, they will tell you good things...

"I think there's a grain of truth in what he says, but that grain of truth is

"Then tell me some astrology, Arudam; it's time for me to go, sir!"

"Where are you going in such a hurry, father!"

"Can't you tell me that too by consulting an astrologer? I came to ask you all about where I should go, where I shouldn't go, and whether my work will be successful if I go."

"Astrology and astrology require some kind of proof to tell you about your luck. Father! You need a horoscope; if you don't have a horoscope, you need to know at least your date of birth and star sign; if you don't know that either, you need to know at least your city and name."

"My name is Vandiyathevan!"

"Yes! Are you from the Vanar clan?"

"yes"

"Is it Vallavarayan Vandiyathevan?"

"That's him, Chatchat."

"Say it like that, brother! Shouldn't you have told me before? I even had your horoscope! If you look for it, you'll find it."

"Oh! How is that?"

"What other work do astrologers like me have? Let's collect all the birth records of children and women born into great families."

"Nal was not born into such a great dynasty..."

"You have said it well! What a clan is the inner clan! How many poems have the poets and the Vanars sung about the Vanar clan! Perhaps you have not heard."

"Just tell me a poem, I'll listen to it."

The astrologer immediately sang the following song.

"Vana, is it a praiseworthy thing, or a slanderous thing?"

Don't give up

It was clear when he sang that the astrologer was not a musician. However, he composed the song in a very clear and heartfelt manner.

"How is V?" he asked.

"It's good for the ears. But my flag will only be valid if I tie it to the horn of a cow. Only if I climb on the branch of the royal tree will the government be able to withstand my blows; even that is doubtful. Even if the branch breaks and pushes me down, it will still push me down!" said Vandhiyathevan.

"Who could have predicted what the internal situation would be like tomorrow?" said the astrologer.

"Didn't I come thinking you would have seen it?" said Vallavarayan,

"What have I seen, brother! Aren't I a mortal like everyone else? But the planets and stars tell us future events. I only find out a little of what they say and tell those who listen, and that's all!"

"What do the planets and stars say about me, astrologer?"

"They say you will grow taller day by day."

"That's right! The current height is too high. I have to bend down when entering your house! What if I'm even taller? Don't say all this in generalities, say something specific."

"If you ask for something specific, I will tell you specifically."

"Will my trip to Thanjavur work? Tell me."

* If you are going to Thanjavur for your own business, you will succeed in whatever you do.

"Now you have the highest number of planets. If you are going to do something for others, you should look at the horoscopes of those people and tell them!"

Vandiyatheval shook his head, put his finger on his nose, and said, "Astrologer! I have never seen a person as clever as you!"

"Don't flatter yourself, brother," said the astrologer.

"So be it. I will ask you clearly what you want to hear. I would like to visit the Emperor in Thanjavur, is that possible?"

"There are two astrologers in Thanjavur who are greater than me, you should ask them."

"Who are they?"

"A big fruit picker; a small fruit picker."

"They say the Emperor's health has deteriorated? Is that true?"

"Someone will say something! What's there to say? Don't believe it! Don't even say it in public!"

"If something happens to the emperor, who will be next in line, pigsjon?"

"The next degree is neither for you nor for me; why should we worry about it?"

"That's how we survived!" said Vandiyathevan.

"It's true, brother! What you're looking for is not a normal thing; it's a very dangerous thing, isn't it?"

"O astrologer! Prince Aditha Karikalar is currently in Kanchi."

"He is. You have come on his behalf!"

"You've finally found out; how is his happiness going?"

"I don't have a horoscope, I'll have to see it, brother."

"How is Prince Madhurantaka doing?"

"His horoscope is strange, similar to that of women. Always being dominated by others..."

"They say that even now there is a women's kingdom in the Chola country? They say it is worse than the Alli kingdom?"

"Where does Thampi say that?"

"They say north of the quarry?"

"It seems that the great Pazhuvettarai is talking about the dominance of the newly married young queen."

"I heard otherwise."

"What did you hear?"

"They say that the emperor's daughter Kundavai Prati is the one who exercises such feminine power!"

The astrologer looked closely at Vandiyathevan's face. He tried to discern from his face whether he was asking that question because he knew it was Kundavai Devi who had left the house a moment ago. But there was no sign of it.

"Complete mistake. Brother! Emperor Sundara Chola is in Thanjavur. Kundavaiprati is in Pazhyarai and more...

"What else? Why did you stop?"

"You should talk to the side during the day. You shouldn't talk at night either. But there's no harm in telling you. What power does the emperor have now? Aren't all the powers held by the Pazhuvettarais!"

Having said this, the astrologer looked at Vandiyathevan's face once more with a heavenly gaze.

"Astrologer! I am not a spy of Pazhuvettarai; do not be suspicious. A moment ago you spoke about the impermanence of kingdoms and dynasties, and you used the Vanar clan from which you were born as an example. Please tell me the truth; what will be the future of the Chola dynasty?"

"I tell you the truth: I say this without any doubt. At the end of the month of Ali, there will be a new flood in the Cauvery and its tributaries. Then, the people living on the banks of the Cauvery will know very well that it is a new flood that will increase day by day. The flood will continue to increase until Avani and Purattasi. The flood will start to drain in Karthigai and Margazhi. The people living on the banks of the Cauvery will also know that this is a flood that is falling. The Chola Empire now resembles a new flood that increases day by day. It will continue to increase and spread for many more centuries. The Chola Empire is now a waxing crescent moon. There are still many days left until the full moon. Therefore, the Chola Empire will continue to grow more and more.

"Thank you for talking to me for so long, you have made this one thing clear, Vandanam. If you can, please tell me one more thing. I have been wanting to go on a sea voyage for a long time..."

"That wish will certainly come true; you are a Sakat Yogi. You will move around endlessly, as if you had a wheel on your feet. You will walk: you will ride a horse; you will ride an elephant, you will even board a ship; soon you will have the ability to travel by sea."

"Sir! Can you tell me about Prince Arulmozhi Varma, the commander of the southern army and currently waging war in Eelam? What do the planets and stars say about him?"

"Brother! Those who travel on ships use a compass to find their direction, and lighthouses are also used. But do you know what is more helpful to sailors sailing in the middle of the ocean? It is the North Star in the horizon in the north direction. All the other stars and planets keep moving. The Saptarishi system also changes direction and travels. But the North Star, which remains in its place and does not move, is like the North Star, the youngest son of the Sundara Chola emperor, Prince Arulmozhivarman. He has a firm will that is not shaken by anything. He is as good in sacrifice and discipline as he is in heroic deeds, and as good in education as he is in worldly knowledge. He has a milky face and a face that can be said to satisfy hunger just by looking at it: Just as sailors, the sons of the goddess of fortune, aim at the North Star, so in the sea of life It will be very beneficial for young men like you to keep Arulmozhivarma as your target.

"Dad! How much do you talk about Prince Arulmozhi Varma? Don't you describe your lover like a lover describes his lover?"

"Brother! Anyone you ask in the Chola country on the banks of the Cauvery will say the same thing as me,"

"Many greetings, astrologer! When the time comes, I will follow your advice."

"I only said that knowing that your lucky planet has also reached its peak."

"I am leaving, astrologer. With my heartfelt greetings, I present you with some gold, please accept it."

Saying this, Vandiyathevan presented five gold coins.

"The generosity of the Vanara clan has not yet worn off!" said the astrologer, taking the gold.
