ରେରିତମାନଙ୍କ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟର ବିବରଣ 23
1 ପାଉଲ ଏକ ଲୟ ରେ ସହାସଭାକୁ ଚ଼ାହିଁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ମାରେ ଭାଇମାନେ! ମୁଁ ଆଜି ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଉତ୍ତମ ବିବକେ ଅନୁସାରେ କର୍ମ କରି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଜୀବନ ଅତିବାହିତ କରିଛି।
2 ଏହା ଶୁଣି ମହାୟାଜକ ହନାନିୟ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ମୁହଁ ରେ ଚ଼ାପୁଡ଼ା ମାରିବା ପାଇଁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଲେ।
3 ପାଉଲ ହନାନିୟଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆଘାତ କରିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଟିଏ ମଇଳା କାନ୍ଥ ପରି ଯାହା ଉପରେ ଧଳା ରଙ୍ଗ ବୋଳା ଯାଇଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଅନୁଯାଯୀ ମାରେନ୍ଯାୟ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ବସିଛି, କିନ୍ତୁ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ମାେତେ ଆଘାତ ଦବୋପାଇଁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଉଛ। ଏହା ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ।
4 ପାଉଲଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ମହାୟାଜକଙ୍କୁ ସପରେି କଥା କହିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏପରି କହି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅପମାନ କରୁଛ।
5 ପାଉଲ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଭାଇମାନେ, ମୁଁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମହାୟାଜକ ବୋଲି ଜାଣି ନଥିଲି। ଏହା ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେଅଛି, 'ତୁମ୍ଭର ନିଜ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ନେତା ବିଷୟ ରେ ଖରାପ କଥା କହିବା ଉଚ଼ିତ ନୁହେଁ।'
6 ସଭା ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଭିତରୁ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ସାଦ୍ଦୁକୀ ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ କେତକେ ଫାରୁଶୀ ମଧ୍ଯ ଥିଲେ। ଏହା ପାଉଲ ଜାଣିପାରିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସେ ଖୁବ୍ ଜୋର୍ ରେ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଭାଇମାନେ, ମୁଁ ଜଣେ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ମାେ ପିତା ମଧ୍ଯ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଥିଲେ। ମୁଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନ ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରେ। ଏହି ବିଶ୍ବାସ ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ଆଜି ଏଠା ରେ ଏହି ବିଚ଼ାରର ସମ୍ମୁଖୀନ ହେଉଛି।
7 ପାଉଲ ଏପରି କହିବା ମାତ୍ ରେ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ସାଦ୍ଦୂକୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ବହୁତ ତର୍କ-ବିତର୍କ ହେଲା। ସଭା ଦୁଇ ଦଳ ରେ ଭାଗ ହାଇଗେଲା।
8 ସାଦ୍ଦୁକୀମାନେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରନ୍ତି ଯେ ମୃତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ କି କୌଣସି ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ କିଅବା ଆତ୍ମା କହେି ନାହାଁନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୁଶୀମାନେ ଏ ଦୁଇଟି ବିଷୟକୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରନ୍ତି।
9 ତେଣୁ ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ଭୀଷଣ ପାଟିତୁଣ୍ଡ କଲେ। ଫାରୂଶୀ ଦଳର କେତଜେଣ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଶିକ୍ଷକ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କ ସପକ୍ଷ ରେ ୟୁକ୍ତି କଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏ ଲୋକର କିଛି ଦୋଷ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ପାଉନାହୁଁ। ହୁଏତ କୌଣସି ଆତ୍ମା କି ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ ଏ ଲୋକ ସହିତ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା ହାଇେଥିଲେ।
10 ଧୀ ରଧେୀ ରେ ଗଣ୍ଡଗୋଳ ବଢ଼ି ହିଂସ୍ରକ ହାଇେଉଠିଲା। ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ଭାବିଲେ, ବୋଧେ ଲୋକେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ଖଣ୍ଡ ଖଣ୍ଡ କରି ପକାଇବେ। ତେଣୁ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିକଟରୁ ନଇେଆସି ସୈନ୍ଯ ନିବାସ ଭିତରୁ ନଇେ ୟିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ସୈନିକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଲେ।
11 ସହେି ରାତି ରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ପାଉଲଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ କହିଲେ, ସାହସୀ ହୁଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ବିଷୟ ରେ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ରେ ଯେପରି ସାକ୍ଷ୍ଯ ଦଇେଛ ଠିକ୍ ସହେିପରି ରୋମ ରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଦବେ।
12 ତହିଁ ଆରଦିନ କେତକେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଗୋଟିଏ ଯୋଜନା କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଚାହିଁଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା ନକରିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ନଜଳ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ ବୋଲି ଶପଥ କଲେ।
13 ଚ଼ାଳିଶ ଜଣରୁ ଅଧିକ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଏହି ଷଡ଼ୟନ୍ତ୍ର କଲେ।
14 ସମାନେେ ମୁଖ୍ଯ ଯାଜକ ଓ ପ୍ରାଚ଼ୀନମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଛୁ ଯେ, ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ବଧ ନକରିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ କହେି ଭୋଜନ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରିବୁ ନାହିଁ।
15 ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ଏହି କାମ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜ ତରଫରୁ ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଯିହୂଦୀୟ ନେତାମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ସମ୍ବାଦ ଦବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷଙ୍କୁ କହିବ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଆଣିବା ପାଇଁ ଚ଼ାହଁ, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭର ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅନକେ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚ଼ାରିବାର ଅଛି। ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଏଠା ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ବାଟରେ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ଅଛୁ।
16 ପାଉଲଙ୍କର ଭଣଜା ଏ ଷଡ଼ୟନ୍ତ୍ର ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସେ ସନୋମାନଙ୍କ ସୈନ୍ଯନିବାସକୁ ଯାଇ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ଏ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିଲେ।
17 ତା'ପରେ ପାଉଲ ଜଣେ ସନୋ ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କୁ ଡ଼ାକି କହିଲେ, ଏହି ୟୁବକକୁ ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ନଇଯାେଅ। ତା'ର ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କିଛି କହିବାର ଅଛି।
18 ତେଣୁ ସନୋ ଅଧିକାରୀ ତାହାକୁ ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ନକଟକୁ ନଇଗେଲା ଓ କହିଲା, ବନ୍ଦୀ ପାଉଲ ଏ ୟୁବକକୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ପଠାଇଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ କିଛି କହିବାକୁ ଚ଼ା ହେଁ।
19 ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ୟୁବକର ହାତ ଧରି ନିରୋଳା ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ନଇେ ପଚ଼ାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ କଣ କହିବାକୁ ଚ଼ାହଁ?
20 ସେ କହିଲା, ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ଆହୁରି ଅଧିକ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚ଼ାରିବାର ବାହାନା ରେ ଆସନ୍ତା କାଲି ତାହାଙ୍କର ମହାସଭାକୁ ଆଣିବା ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ସ୍ଥିର କରିଛନ୍ତି।
21 କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେ କଥା ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ଚ଼ାଳିଶ ଜଣରୁ ଅଧିକ ଯିହୂଦୀୟ ଲୁଚ଼ଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ନ ମାରିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଅନ୍ନଜଳ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଛନ୍ତି, ଏବେ ସମାନେେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମତିକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
22 ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ସହେି ୟୁବକଙ୍କୁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଲେ ଯେ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଏକଥା କହିଛି ବୋଲି କାହାକୁ ଯେପରି ନକୁ ହେ, ଓ ଏହା କହି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇ ଦେଲେ।
23 ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ଦୁଇ ଜଣ ସନୋପତିଙ୍କୁ ଡ଼ାକି କହିଲେ, ଆଜି ରାତି ନ'ଟା ବେଳେ କାଇସରୀଆକୁ ୟିବା ପାଇଁ 200 ପଦାତିକ ସୈନ୍ଯ, 70 ଜଣ ଅଶ୍ବାରୋହୀ, 200 ବର୍ଚ୍ଛାଧାରୀଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର।
24 ନିରାପଦ ରେ ୟିବା ପାଇଁ କେତକେ ଘାଡ଼ୋକୁ ପାଉଲଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର ଓ ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳ ଫଲେୀକ୍ସଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ କରାଅ।
25 ସନୋଧ୍ଯକ୍ଷ ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ପତ୍ର ଲେଖିଲେ, ପତ୍ରର ମର୍ମ ହେଲା;
26 ମହାମହିମ ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳ ଫଲେୀକ୍ସଙ୍କୁ କ୍ଲାଉଦିଅ ଲୂସିଯାଙ୍କର ନମସ୍କାର।
27 ଯୀହୂଦୀମାନେ ଏହି ଲୋକକୁ ଧରି ନଇେ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଚେ଼ଷ୍ଟା କରୁଥିଲେ। ମୁଁ ଘଟଣା ସ୍ଥଳ ରେ ସୈନ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ପହଞ୍ଚିଲି ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କଲି। ମୁଁ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ପାଇଲି ସେ ଜଣେ ରୋମୀୟ ନାଗରିକ।
28 ମୁଁ ଏହି ଲୋକକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ମହାସଭାକୁ ନଇେ ତାହା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଥିବା ଅଭିଯୋଗ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ଚ଼ାହୁଁଥିଲି।
29 ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ପାଇଲି ଯେ, ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ଅଭିୟୁକ୍ତ ହାଇେଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ କାରାଦଣ୍ଡ ବା ପ୍ରାଣଦଣ୍ଡ ପାଇବାର କୌଣସି ଦୋଷ କରି ନାହିଁ।
30 ହଠାତ୍ ମୁଁ ତାକୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବାକୁ ଷଡ଼ୟନ୍ତ୍ର କରାଯାଇଥିବାର ଖବର ପାଇଲି। ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ତାକୁ ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ପଠାଇଲି। ମୁଁ ତା'ର ଅଭିଯୋଗକାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲି ଯେ, ସମାନେେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଅଭିଯୋଗ କରନ୍ତୁ।
31 ତେଣୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଆଦେଶ ଅନୁସାରେ, ସୈନିକମାନେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ଧରି ନେଲେ ଏବଂ ରାତ୍ରୀ ରେ ଆନ୍ତିପାତ୍ରି ନଗରକୁ ଆଣିଲେ।
32 ତହିଁ ଆରଦିନ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ କାଇସରୀଆ ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚାଇବାର ଦାଯିତ୍ବ ଅଶ୍ବାରୋହୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେ ପଦାତିକ ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ସୈନ୍ଯ ନିବାସକୁ ଫରେି ଆସିଲେ।
33 ସମାନେେ କାଇସରୀଆ ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚି ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳକୁ ପତ୍ରଟି ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କଲେ।
34 ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳ ପତ୍ର ପଢ଼ି ପାଉଲ କେଉଁ ପ୍ରଦେଶର ଲୋକ ବୋଲି ପଚ଼ାରିଲେ। ସେ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ପାଇଲେ ଯେ ପାଉଲ କିଲିକିଆର ଲୋକ।
35 ରାଜ୍ଯପାଳ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଭିଯୋଗକାରୀମାନେ ଏଠା ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିବା ପରେ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣିବି। ସେ ପାଉଲଙ୍କୁ ହରେୋଦଙ୍କର ପ୍ରାସାଦ ରେ ରଖିବା ପାଇଁ ଆଦେଶ ଦେଲେ।
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.

Tamil Easy Reading Version
பவுல் சொல்கின்ற இந்தக் காரியங்கள் மக்களை, நமது வேலைக்கெதிராகத் திருப்பக்கூடும். ஆனால் இன்னொரு சிக்கலும் இருக்கிறது. பெரிய தேவியான ஆர்தமிஸின் தேவாலயம் முக்கியமானதல்ல என்று மக்கள் நினைக்கக் கூடும். அவளது பெருமை அழிக்கப்படக்கூடும். ஆசியாவிலும், உலகம் முழுவதிலும் உள்ள ஒவ்வொருவரும் வழிப்படுகின்ற தேவதை ஆர்தமிஸ் ஆவாள்” என்றான்.
Thiru Viviliam
இது நமக்கு ஆபத்து விளைவிக்கும்; நம் தொழிலும் மதிப்பற்றுப்போகும். அதோடு பெருந்தேவதையான அர்த்தமியின் கோவில் கூடத் தன் பெயரை இழந்துவிடும். அதுமட்டுமின்றி, ஆசியா முழுவதும், ஏன் உலகமுழுவதுமே, வழிபடுகின்ற நம் தேவதையின் மாண்பும் மங்கிப் போகுமே!” என்றார்.

இதனால் நம்முடைய தொழில் அற்றுப்போகும்படியான அபாயம் நேரிட்டிருக்கிறதுமல்லாமல், மகா தேவியாகிய தியானாளுடைய கோவில் எண்ணமற்றுப்போகிறதற்கும், ஆசியா முழுமையும் பூச்சக்கரமும் சேவிக்கிற அவளுடைய மகத்துவம் அழிந்துபோகிறதற்கும் ஏதுவாயிருக்கிறது என்றான்.
