ಜವನ ನಿಂದಿಪುದೇಕೆ ಸರ್ವಘಾತಕನೆಂದು? |
ಭುವಿಗೆ ವೃದ್ಧಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯವನು ಸುಮ್ಮನಿರಲ್ ||
ನವಜನಕ್ಕೆಡೆಯೆತ್ತಲಾರುಮೆಡೆಬಿಡದೆ ನಿಲೆ? |
ನವತೆಯವನಿಂ ಜಗಕೆ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

javana nindipudEke sarvaghaatakanendu? |
bhuvige vruddhasamruddhiyavanu summaniral ||
navajanakkeDeyettalaarumeDebiDade nile? |
navateyavanim jagake - mankutimma ||

Why blame death as the all destructor?
The old shall perpetuate in his silence
If none leave, where is space for the new?
Novelty due him in the world - Mankutimma.
