ಒಡೆಯದಿರು ತಳಹದಿಯ ಸರಿವಡಿಪೆನದನೆಂದು |
ಸಡಲಿಸುವ ನೀಂ ಮರಳಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲರಿತವನೇಂ? ||
ಗಿಡವ ಸರಿ ಬೆಳೆಯಿಸಲು ಬುಡವ ಕೀಳ್ವುದು ಸರಿಯೆ? |
ದುಡುಕದಿರು ತಿದ್ದಿಕೆಗೆ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

giDava sari beLeyisalu buDava kILvudu sariye? |

Break not the foundation in the name of repairing it
One who shakes it up, are thou capable of rebuilding it?
To grow the plant properly, is it appropriate to uproot it?
Hurry not to correct - Mankutimma
