Parasathula goshtinundina

Parasathula goshti nundina Purushudu gaangeyudaina bhuvinindavadun Barasathu suseelayainanu , Barusangathi nunna nindapaalagu sumathee//73// AAjanma brahmachaari ayina Bheeshmudainaa ,parakaanthala prasangamulo nunnacho apakeerthi paalagunu.Atle,manchigunamulu kaligina sthreeyainanu ,parapurushuni sahavaasamu galgiyunnacho apakeerthi paalagunu.Thaati chettu kinda nilabadi paalu thaaginaa lokam kallu thaagaavantundi.Alaane parasthree snehamu,parapurushuni snehamu,yentha pavithramyinadainaa,ye vikaaraalaku lonu kaakunnaa lokam nammadu,thappakundaa ninda vesthundi.Deeniki vayasu,gunamu,andamu latho pani ledu.Opposite sexvaallatho sneham lokamu digest chesukoledu manchi artham lo. A great bachelor like Bheeshma,who did not marry for the sake of his word given to his father,is also not exempt from gossip if he indulges in talking to other women.Similarly,Great pathivratha,like Seetha was asked to do Agnipravesam to prove her character .However righteous you might be this world looks at you in a wrong way,if you have relationship ,or friendship with the opposite sex.So you should not have friendship with others women or other men ,if you want to be respectable in the society.

Parasathi kootami goarku

Parasathi kootami goraku, Paradhanamula kaasapadaku,parunenchakumee, Sarigaani goshti cheyaku, Sirichedi chuttambu kadaku jeraku sumathee!//72// Parasathula pondu gorakumu.itharula bhaagyamuna kaasapadakumu.Parula thappulenchakumu.Thaganatuvanti prasangamu cheyakumu.Aiswaryamu kolpoyina kaaranamugaa bandhuvula vaddaku vellakumu. In the previous poem ,writer has mentioned what are the requirements of a righteous person.In this poem ,he is declaring things which are not to be done ,if you want to be a respectable citizen in the society.We should not fall for others women.You should learn to be content with your family lady.You should not become lusty and crave for others wealth.Duraasa duhkhamunaku chetu.Parula sommu paamu vantidi. Anuvu gani chota adhikula manaraadu.It means we should be in our limits.We should not talk irrelevant talk while in public,use filthy language,abuse others.If you want to lift your head in society with self respect,you should not go to relatives house for livelihood ,while in poverty.They belittle you,humiliate you.They ill treat you.You will lose confidence yourself in such situations.So ,be optimistic and fight your own war.

Parasthreelaku sodarunivalenundi,parula bhaagyamula kaasimpaka,parulaku snehithudai,parulu thannu koniyaadinacho nubbaka,parulu kopinchinanu thaanu kopinchani manishi uththamudu. Writer is saying that a man who treats other women as his sisters,who does not want others money,who is a friend for all,who keeps his cool even when others praise him,Who does not lose his temper when others are angry ,is the best man on earth.So, simply it means one should not be a womaniser.he should respect women.He should not be greedy and should treat others wealth as if it is a snake.Parula sommu paamu vantidi.He should be a well wisher of all .He should maintain respectable friendship with each and every one.He should not feel proud and egoistic when others praise him.He should not feel great.Even when others lose temper and talk in a harsh manner,he should keep his cool.Then ,he is called sthithapragna.

Pani cheyu nedala daasiyu

Pani cheyu nedala daasiyu Nanubhavamuna rambha,manthri yaalochanalan, Dana bhukthi yadala dalliyu, Yanadagukulakaantha yundanaguraa sumathee//70// This poem is replica of sanskrit poem --kaaryeshu daasi,karaneshu manthree,bhojyeshu maathaaa,sayaneshu rambhaa! This is hundred percent true.A loving and responsible wife is all in one of all these characters.And the beauty of it is in the fact that she fulfills all these duties earnestly ,to the best of her ability.There is no doubt about it.If there is any lag in it,it is due to the wrong and faulty approach of her husband only. Wife should work like a slave while she is attending to household chores.While in bed,she should behave like Rambha,official dancer of indra loka.She should satisfy her husband wholeheartedly.While attending to his diet,she should be loving and attentive and know the hunger of her husband like a mother knows without the child telling her of his hunger.So wife is the best package that a money gets in his life,more than what is worth for him.

Pagavala devvarithodanu,

Pagavala devvarithodanu, Vagavangaa valadu lemi vachchinapidapan, Deganaadavaladu sabhalanu Maguvaku manasiyyavaladu mahilo sumathee//68// Writer here is saying that we should develop enmity with anyone.Once poverty comes,we should not repent.We should observe manners while talking in assembly.We should not reveal our love to a lady.There are certain negative thoughts and positive thoughts in this poem.Saying that we should not develop enmity with anyone is a positive approach towards our life .It is a welcome suggestion.We should not repent when in poverty.means adjusting to the stark realities.Fight is gone from your life.You are accepting failure.Things which you can not change should be endured is the policy here.If we dont hold our tongue while in public,it will reap problems to us.So the writer is warning us to be diligent.He is completely filled with negative attitude while saying not to love a woman.Even in previous poems also we had observed this negative attitude in him.But unless ,you love and express your love boldly ,you cant expect anything from others. Life without love and care are an utter waste in my opinion.

Writer is telling about basic necessities of life to mankind.For entire life on this universe water is essential for their livelihood.With out water no life can survive.Mouth is the outlet to express our feelings in words.Without it,our expression is not complete and effective.He has realised the importance of motherhood.So he is comparing woman to a diamond.Unless there is some thing to unveil,the beauty of anything can not catch you or attract you.So for romance and to aggrevate your sexual instincts,proper dressing is essential.

Navvakumee sabhalopala

Navvakumee sabhalopala Navvakumee thallidandri naadhula thodan Navvakumee parasathulatho Navvakumee vipravarula nayamidi sumathee// Laughter is of many types.We laugh with one reason and others receive it in another fashion.Kourava war has happened for the simple reason that Duryodhana thought that Droupadi laughed at him while he was in Mayasabha.But of late people have understood the importance of laughter in every ones life.They have started laughing clubs also to promote it.But the writer is pointing out at laughter which may be misconstued by others.That is why he warning not to laugh with certain relations in our lives.We should not while a meeting is going on.We should not laugh with our parents ,Higher officials,other women,great Brahmins.The sole reason is that if they feelbelittles and do not take the joke in lighter fashion,they have the upper hand to corner you in another way.So,it is always better to maintain distance with them and dont feel too cosy or too close with them.

NARAPATHULU MERADAPPINA

Narapathulu meradappina, Dira moppaga vidhavainta deerpariyainan Garanamu vaidikudainanu, Maranaanthaka mounugaani maanadu sumathee// Writer here is saying what things are problematic in daily life.Kings should not go astray from their responsibilities.They should not leave righteous path.Widow should not have control over the house for very long time.Vadikudu should not also be a karanam.Here his intention is that these are not the things when the people can be free and feel free.If a widow has an upper hand in all the decisions taken in a household,there issues will be solved in a biased manner.According to the writer,a widow can not take right and proper decision.May be he is of the opinion that she has unfulfilled desires or passions,or due to old age ,her decisions may not be comfortable for all the members of the house hold. Vaidikudu means a person who has knowledge of rites and rituals that should be performed in Hindu families mostly.He has to perform certain rituals in every household.So ,if a karanam is performing the rituals in the entire vicinty,he would be knowing all the loop holes of the entire neighborhood.So you can not escape from his clutches.Problems will arise in these situations which affect our peaceful living.

Writer is of the opinion that if we request ,people wont hear us.They protest to do to our bidding.But if we show anger and create fear complex in them,they simply do things without any protest.So ,we should behave in right fashion with alittle bit of agreessiveness and harshness if we want our work to get done fast.

IN THIS POEM ,THE WRITER IS WARNING US NOT TO BELIEVE CERTAIN SECTIONS OF COMMUNITY.

THEY ARE TAX COLLECTORS,GOLDSMITH,CHARACTERLESS WOMAN IE PROSTITUTE,RETAILER,LEFT HANDER AND A MAN WHO PLAYS CARDS..THE MAIN INTENTION HERE IS THAT THEY INTEND TO PROFIT THEMSELVES MORE BY MAKING YOU LOSE .AND ALSO THEY HAVE THE TACT TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND YOU WOULD BECOME A PREY TO THEIR SKILLFUL PLANNING.

Writer is telling about the wrong ways which we should avoid in our day to day life.Really they are important dont dos.He is telling us not go singly in a route.His intention is that we should not do any thing which is abhored by all.We should always go in a path that is adopted by one and all.

We should not believe our enemy.We should be alert.We should not relax and have meals in his house.In that way ,we are giving him chance to harm us.

Dont be greedy and take others possessions.In my view ,we cant even enjoy our hard earned money to the fullest extent.Then why go for others earnings.Because they wont to part it willingly and such unearned money will never do us good in the long run.

Dont hurt others feelings.If they think bad of us because we hurt them ,it will never do good to us.If they are capable of returning tit for tat,we will be humiliated in public.If they have no stature to protest openly and suffer mutely,then their curse would efect us hundred fold.That is for sure.

Pathi kadaku,thannu goorchina

Here the writer is insisting on the way we have to behave with others.He is telling us some of the ways to lighten the situation and bring lighter moments.Actually,they say that mother knows how to make a kid happy.Feed him with breast milk !know his hunger when he is not in a position to tell about it.So easy way to a mans heart is satisfying his hunger.Mother knows the hunger of a child.

So a good natured man takes some things like fruits,sweets or some eatables while going to his master, his lovable wife,to god,teacher and his son.He surely knows how to satisfy them.If we take some things of their interest to them,it pleases them immensely.There the matter of money does not come.It shows our love ,affection,concern towards them.So it is the minimum required.

When even a god who does not expect anything from us is also pleased,how much would mortals enjoy we can imagine.

In this poem the writer is insisting that by helping good people you help yourself in so many ways.It is as if Swaami kaaryamu,swakaaryamu jariginatlu annamaata.

He gives the example of a coconut tree.If you water the tree regularly,coconut tree gives quality coconuts with huge amounts of water in it.So, in the end you yourself are benefited than the tree itself.Similarly,if you help a good person,You will achieve respect in the society.You get self satisfaction and you can reap happiness ten fold as an after effect.Here ,he is insisting Sajjana saangathyma is essential to every one.To be able to help god charactered persons is a boon to us.

Life is a saga of happiness and sorrow,of wealth and poverty.It goes on and on.We should be satisfied with what we have and should not feel jealous of others fate.That is why the writer is saying that our friends fortune is not our fortune and our vows are not theirs.Even while Kubera was Sivas friend ,Siva had to beg for his livelihood.So, others wealth is of no use to us. Our possessions are ours to enjoy.So,we should be content with what we have.

Boggulaki kalpatharuvu boduchuta sumathee!

There is an eco friendly poem at last!The writer is telling us not to cut down trees for mere trivial things.Because if trees are felled down ,greenery is lost.If greenery is lost,oxygen output by green leaves via photosynthesis diminishes.So entire life on earth is affected adversely.Ecological balance would be lost.So only a fool would think of cutting down trees and use them as fuel for cooking and in making coal by burning them.

Writer is insisting that if a king harms the general public being influenced by a minister with negative attitude.it is as if a fool cutting down the trees for cooking purpose.

This has been observed long back by our people but failed to get attention by the people in power for various reasons.That is why we are facing so much trouble regarding ecosphere.

THAANANUBHAVIMPA NARDHAMU

Thaananubhavimpa nardhamu


Maanavapathi jeru gontha mari bhoogathamou


Gaanalu neegalu goorchina 


Theniya yoru jeru natlu thiramuga sumathee!


There is a saying that RAJULA SOMMU RAALLA PAALU.sIMILARLY treasures held by people without using for self or public are an utter waste.Here the writer is giving the example of honeybees.They collect honey from various resources moving from one place to another without rest.They do it collectively too for long periods.But that honey is not used by them at not even a single point in their lives.It is collected by humans for their usage at a later date.


Similarly misers earn so much money by fair and unfair means and dont have the mind to use them freely.They are either afraid that people would no that they have so much funds with them or dont have intention to utilise it properly .They dontknow how to enjoy life.That money or riches is either taken away by the kings or goes waste as it was usually hidden in the ground in olden days for fear of theft.So such money is neither good to you or to the society you live in.So,it is better to come out of that miserly attitude and think broadly.

First impression is the best impression.Our attire,attitude,dressing up should be neat and respectable,whether in public or at home.Some people have very bad dressing up habits,vulgar gestures, and dont bother to maintain personal hygiene.As a result even family members detest to be seen with them or live with them.


Even if your is a very good person and loves you so much,she would not tolerate this type of attitude in her husband.She would not allow him to come near her.Same is the case with woman also.They too should present them selves in a pleasant manner,neatly dressed up and maintain personal hygiene.Otherwise ,they too should have face the same music from their partners and other family members.
It is the minimum required from any one.Even in schools or colleges, you see that neatly dressed people have more friends than shabbily dressed students.Even teachers look down on such students.

THALAPODUGU DHANAMU BOSINA

Thalapodugu dhanamu bosina

Velayaaliki nijamuledu vivarimpangaa

Velayaalini nammaraadu vinaraa sumathee!

Bringing up children in a right and proper atmosphere is very relevant for their future.If our childhood is not properly guided by our parents in a right direction, our character goes astray .We dont lead a life with proper morals and lifestyle becomes hazardous and entire society is affected by peoples immoral life style.

That is what the writer is telling in this poem.Prostitution Is a shame to our society and for our moral values. Practically women of lower cadres and castes are forced into it by our society in a shame less manner.And we have the guts to look down on them when in reality it is us who should feel ashamed for their pathetic plight.They have no way out ,Even if they want to lead decent and respectable live s,we dont allow them.People who encourage that profession should be banned from the society ,but not the victims of prostitution.

But here the writer is shame less in attributing the faults to the victims instead of trying to correct the male maniacs from leading a decent life with moral values.

You can think of how their life style would have been in their child hood and the surroundings where they would have grown up.What more can you expect from them beside telling lies and lead a life in wrong direction!

iNSTEAD OF COMMENTING THEM IN a derogatory manner,Writer could have admonished his gender from polluting the society.

He says that even if you give large amount of money also,prostitute does not tell truth.Even if they keep oath on themselves also,you should not believe her.Then why go to her leaving your wife,if you are so intelligent and worldly wise?

THALANUNDU VISHAMU PHANIKINIT

Thalanundu vishamu phanikini


Velayangaa dokanundu vruschikamunukun


Dala doka yanakanundunu


Khalunaku niluvella vishamu gadaraa sumathee!


People have rightly said that we have satanic brains.We always think ill of others.Our attitude towards others itself is at fault.We need not harm others physically.We can show them hell by our gestures,way of talking,acts in a humiliating way and what not.So our entire self is polluted and harmful.So writer feels that in comparison other animals which we feel are harmful or venomous no where come near us in wickedness or harmfulness.
That is what he is saying.Serpent has venom in its fangs.Scorpion has venom in its tail.Actually ,it is a way of their survival to protect themselves from enemies.They exclusively use their weapon for survival only.But in the case of human beings,they are bent to harm others whether there is threat  from the person concerned.


So we should be aware of those,whose intentions are not fair.

Thamalamu veyani norunu

Thamalamu veyani norunu

Himadhaamudu leni raathri heenamu sumathee!

YEKABHUKTHAM,BHOOSAYANAM.This is supposed to be the life style of bachelors in olden days.Having betel leaves after Lunch or dinner is supposed to be the life style of married persons.Here ,the writer is saying that a mouth which does not chew Betel leaves is a waste.It means that he is implying that every one should have healthy marital life.

There is also a saying in Telugu--bhogi kaanivaadu,yogi kaaledu ani.

So after reaching appropriate age,it is necessary that one should lead a married life.Then the society also would be going in the right path.

We should be talented enough to handle to different people effectively.Otherwise you are a failure.Situations and people will not come to us according to our choice and taste.So you should be intelligent enough to handle the situation.Other wise you pale out before others.

As Darwin says there is always struggle for existence and in it survival of the fittest

we see often.

Lake ,ponds and tanks should have lotus flowers in them.It is there natural habitat.If the conditions are not congenial for their existence,they cant survive.They bring beauty to the nature .Man gets relaxed when he sees nature in its true colors.Even otherwise we should live and let live.So unless the pond is polluted or contaminated,lotus would have survived.So we should be aware not to spoil the beauty of the nature.

Romance springs up during night and for every one ,moon and moonlight are the catalysts in improvising romantic mood.Even writers are inspired by moonlight.If a person falls in love at first sight,they say he moonstruck.So moon has so much importance in every ones life whether directly or indirectly.

That is why Writer is insisting that a mouth without tasting betel leaves, lack of intelligence to cope up,pond without lotus flowers and moonless night are an utter waste.

Thana vaaru leni chotanu

Janavinchuka leni chota jagadamu chotan,

Anumaanamayina chotanu,

Manujuna kata nuluva dagadu mahilo sumathee!

Man is a social animal.He wants some to prove his existence.Otherwise he is as good as dead.We want to share our views.life and everything that comes across us in our lives.For that we want congenial and pleasant atmosphere. We want people to accept us in a right way.There should not be any antagonism for our survival, whether it is created by nature or created by man himself.

Writer in this poem is trying to explain this trait of human nature in a simple and understandable way for all.We should not stay where our people such as friends,relations or well wishers are not there.We should not even stay where nature creates trouble for our smooth and convenient living.Say deserts where you cant even get water even for drinking,let alone for other activities.The place should be congenial for farming,raise milch animals,poultry and others.

If you cant raise crops ,from where do you get your food for survival?Sufficient water bodies should be present in the vicinity for your day to day activities and farming.So you should be careful in choosing a place for your living.

We like to lead peaceful lives.Negative feelings and opposition can never make you lead a happy,contented and free life.So,you should not choose a place where your neighbors have no faith in your integrity and doubt your feasibility.

One should be care full and thoughtful before selecting his abode in the long run.

THANA KALIMI YINDRABHOGAMU

Thana kalimi indra bhogamu

Thana lemiye sarvaloka daaridryambun,

Thana chaavu jagathpralayamu

Thanu valachina yadiye rambha thadhyamu sumathee!

Man is selfish to the core.He is very narrow minded.He thinks that this universe starts with him and ends with him.He feels is larger than life and is next to god himself.Writer is expanding this side of his nature in detail for to understand.Because we are also same.There is a saying in Telugu,Aa thaanulode kadaa ee gochee ani.That means that traits dont change from to another in a very marked way because our forefathers are same.

Whatever riches we have.we feel we are on the top and no one can beat us.We are the first ,the best and the worst.All the superlatives belong to us.Because even in anger we say ,naa kante cheddavaadu ledu,naa kante durmaargudu ledu---like.They are all negative traits,but we wish to be the best in them also.See,that is our attitude!

If we are in troubles or in poverty ,we feel that we are the worst sufferers.Fate is all against us.If you are depressed ,you feel you are all alone and there is not even a single person to help you.To you ,there is no great calamity as gigantic as your poverty or your troubles in this world.One feels his death is going to be the greatest catastrophe to the entire mankind.Even Rama would not have felt so great even once in his entire life span.

The woman you like is more beautiful than even Rambha,oorvasi,thilotthama or Menaka for your eyes.It is a fact because you the person with your mental eye,besides your actual eyes.

The fact is that nothing starts for you or stops for you.You are not even a spec in this universe.you are practically negligible.Your existance is of no importance to any one except your family members.If you irritate them ,they too dont mind you.

So,we should be practical and keep your feet on earth only.You should not live on clouds.

Thana kalimi yindra bhogamu

Thanakopame thana sathruvu

Thana saanthame thanaku raskha ,daya chuttambou

Thana santhoshame swargamu

Thana duhkhame narakamandru ,thadhyamu sumathee!

Writer has notified certain things which bring out so many emotions in us.What does a foe do? he disorients your calm.THat is what anger does to you.

So it is confirmed that anger is our first foe,because it makes you lose your cool.You take hasty and wrong decisions when in anger.Some times they cant even be rectified.What a loss!

People fear to come near you and explain freely their views.There by you will be losing good friends and well wishers.From health point of view also,so many ailments would attack like ,Bp and others.You cant share your happiness or sorrow with anyone because you become a loner by your anger ..

While on the other hand.If you are cool,and of pleasant disposition,people like to interact with you.You lighten the atmosphere.Everyone around you is happy and relaxed.They come to you for friendship and you are positive for corrections and suggestions which may help you in the long run.You would not suffer from anxiety and depression.So it is like an armor to you warding off bad influences.

If you are kind hearted and react positively for others problems,people will respect and love you.yOU WOULD HAVE MADE A NICHE IN THIER HEARTS.

If you are happy,heaven is no where but beside you only.If you are worried and sad .it is nothing less than a hell.When there is no peace of mind,every thing looks and gloomy and depressed.You feel suffocated.That feeling is nothing more than being in a hell.

So we should imbibe positive approach in our life.If we are optimistic ,half the battle of life is won.What more do you want?

While we are in a job we should not be hasty.We should not even be afraid to the stress and strain that follow while in work.If we are not patient enough to complete the job wholeheartedly and to every ones satisfaction,it will go to dogs.Operation is not completed.

While on the otherhand ,if we put our mind and soul and try it sincerely,Even the things that were a failure previously would be completed in a satisfactory manner.The only manthra is work hard and have patienceand do not rest till the job you have taken up is not completed.

CHETULAKU THODAVU DAANAMU

Chethulaku thodavu daanamu

Bhoothalanaadhulaku dodavu bonkami,dharalo

Neethiye thoda vevvaariki

Naathiki maanambu thodavu ,nayamuga sumathee!

Writer is insisting on the importance of certain traits in humans which each one should have.Our hands should be prone for thrift.Let us remember the famous philonthropists like Sibi chkravarthy,Bali chakravarthy,kArna and others who helped people came to them for alms.They never said in negative and some times even at their life risk.One should having helping nature.

If kings stand on their words ,they become great.Telling lies and oppurtunism belittles them.So they should be on the look out for conistancy and righteousness.

They should give same justice to one and all irrespective of their caste,creed,religion,economic condition.Impartiality towards one and all becomes your ornament, if you implement it justifiably.

He is insisting that woman becomes more respectful and gain inner beauty if they have character.

Even in Geetha ,Krishna says that if kula sthree loses her character ,entire dynasty is polluted and would go to dogs.So being faithful to the family and children is more important for a family lady.

So every one should see that traits are giiven importance in their lives.

CHUTTAMULU GAANIVAARALU

Chuttamulu gaani vaaralu

Chuttamulamu neekatanchu sompudalirpan

Nettukoni yaasrayinthuru

Gattiga dravyambu galuga gadaraa sumathee!

There is a saying in Telugu.Bellam chuttu cheemalu.

Another one,pandlunde chettuke raallu kodathaaru.

These all mean the same thing.If you are financially sound and some what good natured and cant ward off unwanted people ,if you have to face the music.Every one will be knocking your door and enter by force saying they are your relatives.You would not even be knowing them.Even if you know, they would never have even lent their ears ,when you were in bad period and was in dire need of help.

It is the nature of people.You cant correct them.They want all the help even when they dont really need it.At they same time,they fail to recognise you when you are in troubles and need help.

The same people pose as your well wishers, when you have riches.

So ,we should be aware of such oppurtunists and ward off them effectively and efficiently.

CHEEMALU PETTINA PUTTALU

Cheemalu pettina puttalu

Paamula kiravainayatlu paamarududagan

Hemambu gooda bettina

Bhoomeesula paala jeru bhuvilo sumathee!

Writer is inferring in this poem the end result of accumulated money.He is bringing forth the example of Ants which make anthills which are way beyond their requirement.They are so minute and they make such big anthills.But what happens in the end!They are all driven by a snake which occupies it by force.They then become homeless.

Similarly .people collect and save their money in unreachable places.They accumulate it beyond their requirement.Definitely it is beyond their requirement.

Next step is it is either taken away by government,or by thieves .

In fact there is a saying ---raajula sommu raalla paalu.

So even the riches of Kings go waste over a period of time.You can know the fate of Vikramaadithyas throne.It was found in a small hillock covered by mud and plants.In olden times,people used to hid their money in pots and keep them in the earth.But they never had time and minde to enjoy with their money.Over the period of centuries,it was like that only.Now and then we hear that some people find gold and conis in small pots hidden in the earth.Actually ,what ever is fornd in the earth is nations treasure and they are supposed to surrender it to the government .

So we have to disribute the excess to the needy .Then only that money has some menaing.Otherwise it is useless and you are as good as the nearby beggar.

Chinthimpaku kadachinapani

Kinthulu valathurani nammakenthayu mmadilo

Nanthahpura kaanthalatho

Manthanamulu maanumidiye mathamura sumathee!

Once again I have a strong feeling that the writer was disillusioned in his relationship with women.In this poem ,he is saying telling us not to feel sorry for the happenings in the past.Because ,we cant undo what we have already done.If we cant change anything,It is useless to fret over it.

He is advising the entire section of males not believe the fact that women love you.It is just a mirage.He is alerting everyone not to enter into secret dealings with women in queens palace.May be the reasn the writer felt was that women cant keep secrets and it would no more be a secret but a matter of public discussion.

If you ward off all these shortcomings,you would be a man going in the right path.

GADANAGALA MAGANI JOOCHINA

Gadanagala magani joochina

Nadugaduguna madugulidudu rathivalu dharalo

Gadanudugu magani joochina

Nadapeenugu vacchenanuchu naguduru sumathee!

Practicality is the way of life.You cant live in dreams!!So,naturally women respect men who are successful in their lives.They need to be protected.So unless the husband is efficient and effective,you cant dream of respect and love from their wives.

Women want to enjoy their lives happily,contentedly and have all the materialistic benefits.

So they spread red carpet to their husbands ,if they are successful.

If ones husband is a failure,they are sure to treat him as walking corpse.That is that he is of no use to them.They make fun of him and talk in degrading manner.

Komali viswaasambunu

Komali viswaasambunu

Baamulatho jelimi yanya bhaamala valapun

Vemula thiyyadanabunu

Bhoomeesula nammikalunu bonkura sumathee!

Writer is of the strong opinion that women are not to be trusted.May be he is going along with the saying that secrets can never be kept by women.The saying is --AADADAANI NOTLO NUVVU GINJA KOODAA NAANADU.

So you cant take them into confidence.You cant make friendship with snakes and still be safe.Because their natural instinct is to bite and inject poison into us.

One mus be faithful to one woman.But if you spread your wings and fel that all women are for you to enjoy ,you will go dogs. That is for sure.Keep aside the fact that it is not right .First of all ,you would become a victim of venereal diseases and an AIDS patient.Lust and sex with too many is hazardous for a healthy family and for ones own health.So,beware!!!

You cant expect neem tree and its fruits to be sweet.Though it has various uses as anti fungal,anti bacterial and other medicinal values.its bitterness can never be ignored.

Kings are the oppurtunists in the netire world.Because ,they are always behind ,riches,power,women and what not!!!In short,all their life they will be running

After materialistic pleasures and benefits.

So they cant even be true to themselves.Then how can we expect them to be truthful you?

So the writer is warning us to be aware of these and facts in our lives.If other women express their love towards you , dont be a prey to their skillfulness.

koragaani koduku puttina

Koragaani koduku puttina

Goragaamiyegaadu thandri gunamula jerachun

Jerukuthuda vennu puttina

Jerakuna theepella jerachu siddhamu sumathee!

Writer is of the opinion that we fail to control our children from going astray we have to pay a heavy penalty.Entire family would be put to blame and loss.In this context ,he is giving us the example of sugarcane which is infected and due to that entire sweetness is deprived of the cane subsequently.

So ,if our son is an utter waste and is not going in right direction,it is whole and sole responsibility of the parents to bring him back to the right track.The main reason is that to cover his wrong deeds ,parents also resort to think in the wrong direction.Because foolishly they would be under the wrong impression that they should stand by their children in good or bad times.They lose the propriety to think impartially and point out the blemishes in their children.

So in the end the entire family is in the sinking ship where there is no way out.

KOKKOKA MELLA JADIVINA

Kokkoka mella jadivina

Chakkanivaadaina raaja chandrundainan

Mikkili rokkamu neeyaka

Chikkaduraa vaarakaantha siddamu sumathee//

I strongly feel that the writer had bitter experience in the hands of prostitutes.That is why he has mentioned this side of lose charactered women quiet consistently. Vemana also mentioned this aspect in one or two of his poems.But,this man has devoted so much of his writing abilities in abusing women.Did he not come across good charactered or good natured family women in his life? I wonder!

In this poem ,he is saying that even if you are an expert in that art of kamasuthra and has full knowledge theoretically,then also prostitute would never entertain you with out money.How can she ,when it is her only livelyhood,Icant understand.Even if is the best handsome man in the vicinity also,she would not come free,the writer is repenting.Even if the man is the best king in the entire world also, without demanding much money,she would not come so easily.ALAS!!!!!

May be he could not differentiate between profession and character.

KONCHEPU NARU SANGATHICHE

Konchepu naru sangathiche

Nanchithamuga geeduvacchu nadi yetlannan

Ginchitthu nalli karachina

Manchamunaku betluvacchu mahilo sumathee//

The writer is saying that friendship with characterless people is not advisable.You will be the loser in the bargain.In this context,he is putting forth the example of bed lies.When a lie bites us when we are lying on the cot, we keep the cot in the sun and thrash it hard so that lies might leave the cot.Similarly, If we make friendship with a loafer, we get bad name in the end. In Telugu there is a saying,Thati chettu kinda koorchuni paalu thaaginaa,lokam kallu thaagaavani anukuntundi. Paalu thaagaavante asalu nammadu.

So it is better if we ward off friendship with the wrong persons from the beginning.

KOORIMI GALA DINAMULALO

Koorimi gala dinamulalo

Neramulennadunu galuga neravu mari yaa

Koorimi virasambainanu

Neramule thochuchundu nikkamu sumathee//

Anything is in our minds.If you are happy entire world is green and fresh.You love your self and you love your surroundings and youe people.If you are in a dark mood or depressed,Everything looks gloomy .Even if the othe person is casual or even your well wisher ,you find fault with his intentions and you ready to start a fight.

That is what the writer is saying in this poem.While in frienship,You dont find faults in the other persons.Even if you notice ,you are magnanimous in overlooking his defaults.You willfully ignore his shortcomings.But once afriction enters into the relationship,even the plus points in his character appear to be gross drawbacks and dents in his character.So everything in ones out look at the issue or the person.

But we should never be biased in any relationship.If a person is right encourage him and if he is wrong,correct him.A good friend should be like a mirror.Because a mirror shows whatever you want to see and also those which you dont want to see.It is impartial.If you are beautiful ,it shows your beauty. If you are ugly.it show your ugliness in full.It is your moral responsibility to correct your friend if he is wrong and encourage him when he is right.

KULAKAANTHA THODA NEPPUDU

Kulakaantha thoda neppudu

Galahimpaku vattithappu ghatiyimpakumee

Kalakanti kannee

Rolikina siri yintaninda dolla du sumathee!

Writer is saying that we should not make Kula sthree ie pious and good characterd woman unnecessarily.It would reap unhappiness and poverty in that house.He is saying this because man is always in search of short term happiness.He does not give importance to his wife and show love and affection towards her.To make sure that his unlawful deeds are not questioned by his wife,he always indulges in humiliating her or put blame on her deeds and character.He does this even if he knows pretty well that she is perfect in her character and her love towards her husband and family.

If she suffers because of these wrong deeds of her husband and weeps ,That family never flourishes. It will practically go to dogs.

In practicality,whether .one is wife or not,no one has right to make one suffer for no fault of them. Good never comes of it and their curse is more powrful if they are not in an equal position to retaliate or counter your acts.

KAARANAMU LENUNAGAVUNU

Kaaranamu leni nagavunu

Beranamu leni lema prudhiveesthalilo

Booranamu leni booreyu

Veeranamulu leni pendli vrudharaa sumathee!

In society certain facts and acts cant sustain dignity and respect.Few of the examples ,the writer had given here.If any one laughs without any reason or rhyme,Others would look at him as if he is a fool or a mischievous person. If a woman is half clad and without a blouse ,she can never dream of recieving respect from others.She would be branded as having no morals.Boore,an eatable has a hole in the centre so that it can be deep fried evenly from all the sides.Boore without a hole in the centre is not accepted and is also treated as a bad omen in some circles.An Indian marriage withpout mangala vaadyaalu can not be thought of by anyone,It is considered a holy act and ritual.It is put into practice ,so that any other bad signs or goestures can be overlooked as it is a very auspicious occasion.So a maariage without mangala vaadyaalu can never be considered a full marriage.

bREMAMUNA JERUKU PIPPIKI

jEEMALU VESA MOOGINATLU SIDDHAMU SUMATHEE!

Wanting a woman who had already been utilised to the fullest satisfaction by another man is meaningless and an utter waste.It is as if you are trying toextract juice from a sugarcane from which already maximum juice has been extracted.Ants collect at the crushed sugarcanes just with the love foe sugar,but not with the surity that they can have sugar from the crushed canes.

So one should be satisfied with their wedded partners than to go lustfully for others and lose a lot than gain something in return.

KAADUSUMEE DUSSANGATHI

Kaadusumee dussangathi

Podusumee keerthikaantha pondina pidapan

Vaadusumee yappicchuta

Ledusumee sathulavalapu lesamu sumathee//

Writer is saying something but also seems to be bissaed regarding women in this particular poem.He is preaching not go for friendship with bad guys.It is self harming.Once you achieve greatness in the minds of public,it would never leave,.It is permanent.Giving loans leads to misunderstanding and fighting.According to him women do not have love and affection in their dictionary.But how wrong he is?Mother is a woman who bears all the burdens with calmness and composure for the sake of her children.Elders say INTIKI DEEPAMILLALU.If a woman doe notknow how to love and care ,this saying would not have come into use.

I strongly feel, he is referring to loose characterd women in this poem.

Kavigaanivaani raathalu

Kavi gaanivaani vraathalu

Navarasabhaavamulu leni naathulavalapun

Davili chani pandi neyani

Vidhadhaayudha kousalambu vrudharaa sumathee//

Writer is mentioning some of the waste and meaningless deeds.A persons writings ,who has no finess in writing abilities, are an utter waste.A womans love and lust ,who has no experience in all the nine emotions,ie navarasas ,is meaningless and not wholesome.A person who cannot catch a pig by running ,is a complete failure,even if he has mastery in using all other arms and ammunitions.

So what is implied in all these examples is practicality is more important than having theoretical knowledge. Using and implementation of arts and artistry is more important than mugging up or mechanically learning everything.

KASUGAAYA GARACHI CHOOCHINA

Kasugaa garachi choochina

Masalakathagu yogaru gaaka madhurambagunaa?

Pasa galugu yuvathulundaga

Basi baalala bonduvaadu pasuvura sumathee//

Writer is very apt in defending girlchilds rights.It is a crime to involve girl child into marriage or sex life.When there are so many mature woman who are mentally and physically fit for a healthy married life.We can not understand why some grotesque men prefer small children for their sexual partners. They are moral leppers.

If we crunch a unripe fruit it tastes bitter or tasteless.But a fully ripened fruit has all the sweet juices to satisfy your taste buds.One has to know the difference and leave children to grow naturally.In certain sections males think that if they have sex with young virgin girl children, their sexual disorders will get nullified.But it is a very wrong notion and is baseless.

That is why writer is comparing such men as beasts.

Lotus flowers itself with the oncoming of sunlight .Its natural abode is in water.But once it comes out of water ,due to sun rays only it shrivels.that is why elders say ANUVUGAANI CHOTA ADHIKULAMANARAADU.So we can see that we are cofortable in our places.If we try show our power in a new place or any alien place,we will be at a loss.Because we are outsiders there.So we should be on the look out and maintain low profile in anew place until we get acclaimatised there.Most of the times our friends alone become our foes ,if we over react under unusual circumstances.So we should watch out before coming off.

There are many in things in this world which bring unhappiness and problems in life.Few examples are given here.If a frog has no legs .it can not from land to water and viseversa.It is amphibious.Every one is afraid of snakes whether they are poisonous or nonpoisonous.So it has to run fast to save itself from humans.If it does not have good health,it cannot move fastly thus falling prey to human wrath.If ones wife has no character ,husband never feels safe,calm and composed.His brain will be eating as to her moves and counter moves from time to time. If difficulties or poverty comes when we are young and energitic,we have youth,courage,health and optimistic approach to make us cross the difficulties.But in old age,when we dont maintain good health and faced all troubles ,ups and downs in life,we naturally fail to face the problems in a balanced manner.So in all above cases,we cant avoid dukhamu ie unhappiness.

KANAKAPU SIMHASANAMUNA SUNAKAMU

Whatever hungaama we do to uplift them or color their weaknesses,they cant be disguised.Writer is giving us the example of a dog in this context.Even if we search good muhurtham for enthronement and empower it and make it sit on a golden throne, Dog can not forget its low life in the past.It would revert to its normal life.It cannot understand the magnanimity of power and enthronement.Similiraly whatever we do we cant uplift a characterless fellow.It is fruitless job in the end.He would revert to his characterless deeds in no time.

In this poem ,the writer is revealing lifes naked truths.How ever strong and powerful one might be,he should not send his wife for long time to her maternal home.If he does so, it is as if he is making her a prostitute intentionally.Because wifes right place is with her husband.A man can everyone outside,but in family matters he has to respect and show love ,towards his wife.If she feels she is not wanted by her husband,there is every chance that she might seek that love and affection elsewhere .Thus making him a fool and she lose her character.this would be his fault and folly and he is solely responsible for bitter consequences in later days.

This poem tells us that we have to recieve wealth and poverty equally in our lives.The main reason is that they come as apackage one after another.So, we should be prepared for the other thing when we are enjoing or suffering.The example he is giving in this context is that Carts come on ships and ships come on vehicles.Like wise poverty follows riches and riches are followed by poverty. So we have to maintain equilibrium mentally.

OLLANI SATHI NOLLANI PATHI

A person who is not willing to leave his wife who does not love him Is not normal.Similarly one who is not willing to leave his ungreatful master is also unique.A friend who does not really like you should be dropped immediately.If a person refuses to leave such persons he is called a herdman .A person does not simply become a herdman(golla vaadu)by virtue of his birth in that community.

In vernacular golla is considered a foolish person.

YERAKUMEE KASUGAAYALU

Yerakumee kasugaayalu Doorakumee bandhujanula ,doshamu summee! Paarakumee ranamanduna Meerakumee guruvulaagna ,medini sumathee! Writer is telling what is to be done and what not to be done by a person.We should not pluck unripe fruits from a tree.We should not abuse relations.While in a war we should not run away and show our back.We should abide by what our teachers tell us. We should not cross our limits as a student. Best example is marrying immature girls .who are neither mentally ready for the relationship ,nor physiologically mature to handle pregnancy.Children born to such kids are not healthy and mothers health also suffers.Man is a social animal. If we start abusing or fighting with our relations , it gives a very bad picture .The word goes a long way and we are looked down generally by all other relations also. If we run away from a fight or war we are called a coward.Only if you dont have guts or valor you do run away from a war. Any how you are lost whether you fight ferociously or run away.Then why not fight till the end and be applauded by the public for our heroism? After parents,teacher is of highest importance in every ones life.He shows us god. He gives us proper education. So we should be obedient with him and win his favor.So that he would part his knowledge willingly to us. So we should never cross limits with our teachers.

During rainy season when rains come and tanks and ponds are full,Then frogs and tadpoles come in hundreds and thousands. Because it is their surviving media. It is their copulating time and frogs and tadpoles are found in numerous numbers.Similarly when we are in riches every one comes saying he is our heart throb.Relations and friends come in dozens unasked for.It is the reality.If we are in monetary troubles even near and dear stay aloof.They stay away from us.They refuse to accept our relation. So we should not believe such friends or relations. Bellam chuttu cheemalu anedi deenike.

Writer is of the opinion that tactfulness is necessary to be successful in this world. Whatever talents you have ,do not come to any use or praise if you are not tactful. We have to understand the people involved, situation, time and place into consideration to come out successfully from some difficult situations. We should use our intelligence to handle the others skilfully, so that neither they lose , nor do we lose.We should handle a situation in such a way that the other person is not affected adversely. We do not lose our respect or self esteem in the bargain. We should escape from difficult situations tactfully.He alone is successful in life.

UPAMIMPA MODALU THIYYANA

Upamimpa modalu thiyyana Kapatambeda nedanu jeraku kai vadine po Nepamulu vedakunu gadapata Gapatapu durjaathi pondu gadaraa sumathee! Sugarcane tastes very sweet when we munch in the beginning.In the middle its sweetness decreases and in the end it is tasteless.Similarly friendship with the wrong persons or bad people is exciting and starts on a very high note. As the friendship extends ,you would lose that bondage or intimacy or belief in him.In the end you would stand to lose severely from such friendship.So we should maintain distance from such people and such friendships for ever.

UPAKAARIKI NUPAKAARAMU

Upakaariki nupakaaramu Vipareethamu gaadu seya vivarimpangaa Napakaariki nupakaaramu Nepamennaka seyuvaadu nerparisumathee! According to the writer there is nothing special or greatness in doing good to a person who has helped us in the past. It is quite common. You need not feel great for having helped him in return. But the actual greatness lies in those who help those impartially who have harmed them or refused to help them in the past. They dont hold any grudge against you for it and they do help us wholeheartedly. That person is a real winner. Because he wins your heart by his deeds and he wins against smaller emotions like grudge, anger and unhappiness within himself. So first win over your emotions and weaknesses. Then you can win the hearts of your people.

UDAKAMU DRaaVEDU HAYAMUNU

Udakamu draavedu hayamunu Madamuna nupponguchundu matthebhambun Modavukada nunna vrushabhamu Jaduvani yaa neechukadaku janakura sumathee! Writer in this poem warns us not go near certain animals.Because they cause danger or harm to us.Their harming is not intentional,but we would become scapegoats for their outburst. We should not go near a horse which is drinking water to quench its thirst. All its energy is utilised in galloping the barns and due to heavy exertion it would like to drink water peacefully to regain its strength and quench its thirst. If we disturb it in such a mood we are sure to reap its anger. We should not even go near an elephant which is full of vigour and if it is irritated by our nearness ,it would simply thrash us under its feet.We SHOULD NEVER EVER go near an ox which is in the mating mood with its cow. It would definitely kick us and attack with its horns.The most dangerous thing is going to an uneducated fool. He has no capacity to grasp or understand you. You will have to face maximum harm in his friendship.

There are so many animals in the world who have long life but do not have any value to anyone. They are of no use to anyone. Such a life is such awaste. He gives examples of such animals. Udumu ie lizard,lives for hundred years. Snake lives for thousand years.Crane lives for a long time if it hides in water, But of what value?This world needs persons who do good deeds which are of much value to the mankind.They are of much use to us.

Immugajaduvani norunu

Immugajaduvani norunu Ammaa ani pilichi yanna madugani norun, Dammula mabbani norunu Gummari manu dravvinatti guntara sumathee! Writer is saying that a mouth has to read loudly the poems or study in a sweet voice.One has to call ones mother AMMAA ,in an affectionate way for meals.One has to chew paan after meals.If ones mouth does not indulge in all these activities it is as good as a pit dug by a potter for clay.It has no other use. The writers intention is that we have to indulge in good activities like reading,and showing our love and attachment towards our parents and let them know how how much dependent are we on them.We have to indulge in small small acts of happiness and fulfilment like having paan after a good meals.

That is why these days vocational trainings are more popular.In a war attacking fearlessly is valour.THe act which we do, if we are praised by scholars, that is called actual talent.Simply going against someone to fight results in failure or end in bad results. All this says that efficiency in whatever field you choosa is the lifes manthra. There is no other shortcut to success.

AAKALI YUDUGANI KADUPUNU

Aakali yuduganu kadupunu Vekatiyagu lanja padupu viduvani brathuku Braakonna noothi udakamu Mekala paadiyunu rotha medini sumathee// Writer says that certain things are grotesque even to be considered .These are some of them. Where we are given food which does not pacify our hunger,it is a pure waste.Consummating with a prostitute who has concieved some others baby is wretched.Well,which is not frequently used should be discarded. Drinking water from such a well is like drinking poison.Goats frequently dirty the surroundings by their droppings. We cant stay in such a place . So one should be away from these things.

Aakonnakoode yamruthamu,

When we are hungry anything we eat tastes like amruthamu.AAKALI RUCHI YERUGADU,NIDRA SUKHAM YERUGADU ANI ANTAARU KADAA!Our first priority will be filling our stomach.Till the severety of hunger is subsided, we dont even think of how it is tasting.A person who does not dangle whether to give or not to give when in need alone is a DONOR.A person who maintains his cool even in difficulties and rides over the turbulance with minimum hungaamaa alone is a greatman in his dynasty. That is the reason why Rama is recieving so much praise and awe. His entire life is full of myseries and hardships, But he bore them so patiently and successfully and at the end came out with flying colors. Raamo maanushyavaan vigrahah Ante raamudu manushyulalo utthamudu, sreshtudu. Aayanaku manushyulaku vundaalisina 24 sadgunaalu vunnayi.

That is the main intention. For this, the writer is giving certain examples.Personally I dont agree to many of the things he said.
