-------------------------------------------------------

ellinda bande mundetta payaNa
illi ninageshtu dina aalasya maruLe  ||

(1)

siri charana kamalavanu nerenambi sukhiso ||


Meaning:

Whence have you come? To where is your journey?
How many days have you here? Oh idle and trivial one!
 (maruLe means addressing someone as sand = meaning trivial and unimportant)

In the womb of an Earthly Mother, for 9 months -  along with the bowel wastes (mala= faeces)
through the passage of womb- through the path of misery ...
what have you attained after coming to this Earth?
What caste you belong to? What is your name? [Meaning Who are you?]

What path are you stepping into next? Enough! oh Trivial one! Are there anyone here with you , who were your close ones in last life?
The ones who you meet and lived with - your wife, your son are all going to leave you.
Oh speak up !

Why shrivel? Tell me your place, the temple in your place.
In this Earth, trust the feet of kaagi Nele Adi Keshava and be blessed.
