Thadavorvaka yodalorvaka

Thadavorchina nodalorchina

Jedipoyina kaaryamella jekuru sumathee!

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

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.

KAAMUKUDU DANISI VIDICHINA

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.

ODALA BANDLUNU VACCHUNU

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.

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.
