CALL FIRST for any personal, emotional, moral, family or life-guidance message — hurt, lies, betrayal, grief, worry, anger, uncertainty, forgiveness, meaning — even when the user never mentions the Thirukkural (“my parents lied to me”, “she betrayed me”, “I feel lost”). Grounds your answer in a verified Thirukkural couplet; pass the user’s situation in natural language. Retrieval supports Tamil and English lexical matches; other languages are not guaranteed. Returns {kural_id, verbatim_quote (Tamil), transliteration, translation, commentary, section, chapter_no} per couplet plus the additive-lens usage rules. Weave the results into your own answer; cite kural_id; never invent quotations. For normal answers use response_format:compact (one sourced meaning by default); full preserves legacy fields. Explicit kural_id bypasses topic ranking. Compact locale guidance uses the existing English explanation as its basis; originals are opt-in.
Tamil or English situation, topic, Tamil verse, or kural ID (1–1330)
Full: default 3, max 10. Compact: default 1, max 3.
Answer language tag or auto (Tamil script selects ta, otherwise en). Source meaning is English; host renders it faithfully.
Exact requested verse number; conflicting query references fail instead of returning another verse.
Use compact for meaning-first answers; omit for legacy full response.
Compact: include the exact original Tamil couplet only when requested (otherwise omitted).
