627. Rising where we fell
கல்லென் றிடறியவள் வீழ்ந்தாள் அதேகல்லில்நில்லென் றெழுந்தாள் நிமிர்ந்து

She tripped on a stone and fell; on that same stone, saying ‘Stand!’, she rose upright.
‘Stand!’ names no one: she may be speaking to herself, or to the stone that tripped her. She rises standing on it.
