Selective translation of various poetries written by various Poets.






Miscellaneous poets:
1) Avva (mother)   by p lankesh
My mother is fertile black  land
There is spread of green leaves and festival of white flowers

Strength if burnt, flower fruit if painful
If  children hit her organs are  excited
Keeping down the basket  on shoulder paining
Closed  eyelids without opening

Lifting up one quintal of jower
Winning father’s heart,then arm embracement
Giving to hen(cock) a jugful of water
Pepper,avare(…………….)jower
Togari(gram dal?),land phloughing with hand
As flower in  flower,nut in nut(fruit in fruit)
Looking after green irrigated land
Sprent her youth  by wearing torn saree

She died:
What is youth  (age)of this grandmothe of bent back
How many moons of ugadi
Joy of holige(sweet)in front of oven
How many times grand mother  cried
 For money,spoiled crop,dead calf
How many times she wandered  placesto places
For lost  (unseen) old buffalo.

Not sathi savithri,janaki,urmila
Not peaceful white serious lady of book of history
Not wife of gandhiji,Ramakrishna
Did not worshipgods    did not hear harikatha
She did not even keep  kumkum as muththaide.

Like wild bears
 carrying small children
Looked after husband,  collected money(paisas)
She scolded grumbled fought
Smallness crucked thinking like a   monkey
Development    formula( attitude) of family for all
She may get irritated
If son spoiled, only when husband goes to other place
Bhagavadgeetha is not needed  for wild bear
My mother lived for
Grain, sticks ,labour,children
  A roof above,rice,roti and bedsheet
To rise up hands in front of equals
Likes to her, tears of gratitude:
Giving birth to
For living in soil as though she
went from  home to land
talking coolley.

2)in frame (skeleton) of bones:
By  dr mudnakudu chinnaswamy  i

There is temple of skeleton  of bones in us
Onkara of insoiration and expiration
There is rama.

There is muzjid in skeleton of bonesi in us
See above star view,eye brow moon
There is allah
There is a church in skeleton of our bones
There is a cross made up of back bones and shoulder bones
There is christ who is hit by nail
Everyday feeling pain.

In the brain stupas(temles of Buddha)
How many bones in bastis(jain temples)
Buddha and mahaveera who are  healthy)


For protection of bones we made to grow muscles
Filling blood for accumulation of power
purchased (bought) thirst along with blood
and jealousy  with muscles.

Next masses of blood muscles
Fought like chromosomes
Few temples
Few muzjid were destroyed
Body of blood muscles died(fell down)
Temples have remained inside skeleton
Of bones.in warm cage  of devotion.
…………………………………………………..end…………………………………………………………………





3) only ash knows   kind of baking
Dr.mudnakudu chinnaswmy


Bound labourer ,my grand father once
Allowd thirsty cattles  to border of pond
He also drank one handful of water
The news spread through out the town
Pond became unchaste
Leaders held him and
Burnt him in grass mass(mede)

Mother earth  not able to bear this weight
Of burnt  ashes cried as thunderbolt.
Sky came in the form of rain  consoled
The father was born as kenda(burning charcoal)
Covered with ashes.

Again bonded labourer my father  remembered his father
Prayed for one progeny child(issue)
Prostated with stretched hands
In temple premises.
The news that god has become unchaste
Spread through out town
Leader peoples burnt hut into fire
Burnt skeleton of father’s  bonein sleep
Again life was  breathing(kutuku) in ashes
Mother earth wept as earthquake that
sea came as flood and consoled
then that  I took birth as volcano.

Now our people can’t burn
Coming to catch me they burn themselves
Because I am
I  have become  letter(akshara) burning  ignorance
 Have become Witness to deathless truth
………………………………….end…………………………………………………………………………………

4)If I were a tree:
By dr mudnakudu rangaswamy

If I were a tree
Before birds build a nest
Wouldnot have asked  which caste you are

When rays embrace me
Shadow would not have been ‘mylige’(unholy)
With cool air(tambelaru) leaves

Friendship would have been sweet.
Rain  drops would not have takenback
Considering me as shwapacha(chandala)
While depending root bud out
Earth would not haverun awayas”holy’ ‘holy’
Holy cow rubbing body to
My stem to reduce itching
The thirty three crore gods  spread in
Various parts of it’s body,would have
allowd to touch me.

Who knows
In the end of my life
Cut and breaking my dry piece
Would have boiled(burnt)in  homagni(sacrifice fire)
Would have become holy.
It would have been chatta (cradle)
To the dead  body (cadaver)of a gentleman
And would have risen to the shoulders
Of four gentleman.
…………………………………..end……………………………………………

5)sarthaka(blessed) by dinakara desai

Allow ashes of my body –thrown in air
Let it go and fall in paddy  growing area
If (tene) tuft of grains can  jump out from ashes
My birth is blessed in death.

Allow ashes of my body to flow away in river
Let it sail and fall in mouth of a fish
Let fish eat a fist of ashes and strength and grow
My birth is blessed in death.

 Allow ashes of my   body – throw in pond
Where lotus blossom every day
When ashes combine with mud  new lotus appears
My birth is blessed in death.

 let The body after death stand for service
service of human birth today
body has become waste by selfishness
let it come to give real service in future.

Eastern lass to western lass)( by kavyananda     siddaiah puranika)
 As I am black  you don’t tease  white friend with pride
Tell  by  which greatness white is superior to black
White cloud  gives to earth only beauty fine
 Only  black cloud  brings rain to life of earth. 

 Vision of eye is only by black eye ball(pupil) only  white is blind
White hairs are old age victory flag of youth is black
In black earth only to be grown the white thread you have worn
In white snow can be grown? All growth is black

Though black  I am rise  you are in set
You are lotus I am black lotus only one  water wealth
You are white paper I am black ink shall become love poetry
Colour to body colour to nation which colour to self(atma)

All technology which you are proud of  if black black to feel
Iron is black machaines are black charcoal is also black black
Wheel of vehicle and it’s breath is black  dambar  (tar) road is black
That black is dearer why dislike tell my body black?

O white lass will teach you come summary of shrungara(decoration,make up)
Will Keep you kumkum leave this fact of red is bad
 Wear (smear)arisina(turmeric) leave  yellow is rejectable argument
Will appley black(kajal) to eye see beauty in mirror

 I am kapila in my uddedrs come live as    white  milk
You are deer (mruga) in your naval I become kasturi  come

This friendship of colours is inevitable  friend everywhere universal nature
Appears this only announces this only this it’s ethics
mOrning is red  still again yellow why time is  white friend
your body is white see it’s shadow  black where is enemity friend

Kamasuthra : by gangadhara chithala

On that day nacked night
No cloth  no sense
 No shying concealing  moving.

Becoming   full nacked  feeling of jiva jhal
Indulging  one in another
In first garden attracting hunger
Again  hodakarise(exciting)  not reducing even a little
To branch branch  swinging priding  desire of fruit
 On blinking
Without tolerating came opposite
Whole body vibrating ,shaking all lip
That day was nacked night     


What soft smooth all body touch
Luke warm,light,aha life attraction
Body embraced body  laugh joy
Sparrow breasts came pampered chest
Thighs came embraced thigh
Lip to lip made to touch what  a speech
In wind pipe (neckpipe) breath burying  like naga sampige
Mouthful of honey,handful of breast flower
 On rotating side  sound of joy
Being caught by sex (heat,lust) again and again
Kissing embracing again again

Opening lip opening waist  opening all
Searching for body flower entering mixing
This is desire,this is unger, this is thirst
In one breath was there  ayyo aha
Along with length was walking ti of negilu(phlough) tip
 Whole womb blossoming  saliva pouring
Filtered and spilled  drop of life.

 That day was nacked night
Door is open called to come near
 passing  through    my chest door  you came in
what sweet natural  this entrance is

  whatever  you want  eat    you told
whole you in my arms
take whatever you want you told
whole me in your want take you told

In that  moment what ever done excuse
Though troubled begged if played by holding excuse
In nook and corner by puting hand if probed whichver secret  probed excuse

Coming in empty hand removing membrane(pare)
Eaying what ever wanted making to eat what ever is wanted

How much we gave and how much  we took
How much fed  how much made to feed
How much we saw even after closing eyes
How much we talked without speeking

That was nacked night

Jumping blessing (wishing)   by dr chandrashekhara  kambara

Jumping wishing desiring for many
Came requesting  support of love
no your welcome no flower sunlight of smile
fire fell to dreams|

How shall I tell how shall I not tell
My tongue has dried up  memory of opening coil
Hissing hot breath doubt has  cone inside
Broken temple  has become  dumb grave
Why world has  changed like this

Will wait for you  beyond border of time
When is my liberation
Return joy give spirit to jada(nonliving)
Let achievement be fruitful
One who write  rain-bow in my chest
Dreams giver
Show kindness  and pity                                



                                 -From’savirada neralu’
Why                   by thi num srikantaiah

On seing you why my chest  beats(jumps)
Why new kind of joy is thrown?
 Why joy of your friendship making mind
To dancemakes to forget all worries?
If your body is touched like lightning flow
My body vibrates  ‘jum’?
On separation  from you  why no taste in life
Why depression   binds me?


Why I have plunged in your worries ,
Why I have made to  you  stand   chair(peeta) of my chest?
Why maya of your fascination   without considering day and night
Why without leaving my life path has covered?
                                                                                                                      _from ‘olume’                   



New song(navodaya) by poet kayyara kiyyanna  rai:

New feel new life new power filling 
Song should be sung once:
Severe serious feeling  wave spreading
Valiant sound should rise;

Throwing away bonds of caste-creed- community-religion
Should sing expanding(enjoying) chest;
 Beyond epochs and epochs in world and world
That song should thunder

Rising on highly high solid  Himalaya peak
 Should be sung there;
Words of song bullets flying in ten directions
Should follow back of fear;

To lion roar of male chest three tens three crores
Should mix tone;
at inner depth of earth  sky wheel globe
echo sounds should arise;

jada sleep exploding in valiant laugh
sky and earth should enlighten;
in behavior and words in rhythmic moov of fee
spark of revolution should irritated;

victory mother lifting head  with valiant hope
 listen to new song and see;
see no beginning and never before-fate of those days completed
today is  new new song;

I am not mere embryo:
by poetess   malathi pattanashetty:

mother
I am your daughter
Bud of body
 Blosomm of your dream
I am not mere embryo

Hey mother
All medicine becoming poison
All tablets becoming poison
Have become bondage to my breath!
I am not mere embryo

Hey mother
My world is small
Black  nail following back?
I am not mere embryo

Friendship: by poet chennaveera kanavi:
Friendship’s vast spread under banyan(tree)
 Have settled in cool of cool shadow;
 Endless  durbhara(……………).Hard pains and sorrows  of life
Heats   I  have swallowd in silence
friendship is  amrutha to  this world
except that what is there in life-dead while living!

Here no cheating no fickleness(mided) even a little
 No differentiation of above and below(superior and inferior)
 No reason of ego hatred character no
First of all there is no smallness  hesitation
Mind is sky broad,chest clear pond like
 Feeling pure alum- moon  light !

Tastier than salt more relative than mother
 No  this proverb word I have heard
Purity  and taste of friendship  is higher than this
If    this    adventure done what is defect?
What found and found people  know this
 One who has eaten has  it’s hadanu(moderateness)

Some how korpu(………………..) which has come by giving shoulder
 Without bending to pros and cons
Happy in joy partner in sorrow
Like paka(………….) of life juice
 Embracing  all
Embracing all sarasa and virasa  
 Live like sandal by rubbing life!
………………………..end……………………………..

Hope : by poetess b.t .lalitha nyak

Jasmine   bud    blossoming  spilling scent around
Whenannounced welcome of vasantha
In branch of mango tree sitting kokila
Mixed in that one kukila raga

 Jasmine wabling had called kokila
 “Dear friend sing one song
 Mover of sky golden treasure of  experience
Tell what is world news”

What shall I sing what shall I tell
 Don’t know words of fancy and colour
World is caught in net of artificiality
 No value to reality

Man put axe to rich head of  nature
 Has completely dipped in selfishness
 On wall draws plant creeper figure
 Has forgotten  soil smell
Mango jasmine and it’s jhenkara(humming sound)
Song mood of poetic imagination
 Don’t  dry up (nalugadiru)  on hearing this this earth is not barren
Fountain of infinet love flows here and there

Child and fruits :by poet H.S Shivaprakash

In front of fruit stal eye blossoming child

Here in this curve suddenly appearing(incarnated)  black lorry’s smoke
Air naughty nail
stones thrown by naughty don’t make you to fall in nut stage

you also become fruit stall
in between pledge shop  wastage(gujari) dust spread
town’s market

child you should become fruit
whole body maturing  till folds of fruits come
like matured split(birida)  banana fruit
like that bend a little

 if fattened like chakothe
if shrunk  like lemon
 to get soured in yourself
let yourship  equalize in right size
like orange,like mosumbe
 like rasapuri mango fruit

like anjura become rareto people’s eye
 if seen appear as water melon

 Shabari by dr.v.seetharamaiah

1
Shabari is waiting
That rama will come
Will get worshipped by me

Wandering in forest forest
Wandering begging tree and tree
Bringing blossomed flowers
Selecting matured fruits;

Drowning bathing in pond
Wearing    white  silk cloth(madi)
Coming to doorstep
Waiting standing in door border(hosthilu)
 Tender air rubbing
Lifts ear and sees
In air if leaf shakes
Thinking as walk sound

To see at distance 
climbs tree and stares(sees)
lifting hand on hill
 seing behind hand
2)
 Come rama rama
Is coming coming
Anxious day and night
 Many years have spent

Like shabari ,people daily
Epoch and epoch is calling
Earth trying to rise
 is paining in anxiety

hopes fading
 desiring  all mind
waiting  shouting all day
awaking all night

wheather will come or not
wheather seen or not
chanting penancing always
 doubt and anxiety  fixing

 come rama come come
come protect poor
 love of these (people) not seen
 failed words dumb love

awaiting are people
that rama will come
will get worshipped by us

Mahathma:by poet  gangadhara chiththala

On that  day Your blood spilled on ground
Soil shaked,day- flower dried up
Man  is humba(mad) getting irritated,life is upasthanbha(…………………………)
Here killing of better – banadithu(became bird?)

Bloodful history  had  shouted in human race
What is needed for earth to become nandana(divine garden)
Knowledgeful eye,love filled chest
 Life not knowing challenge,this is enough.

Like that came with anxiety brought affection of mind
Black snake of enemity  told you will cool(console)
Poison on this side upset(kolahala,tumult)
Throwing smile of amrutha walked and came

       Even in dried up chests  thevu(………………….) of kno. Had bud out
       To peace and samarasa this was felt first(beginning)
 In region ofstone chest this is flower kusuru(…………………).aha this
 Stammerof  coming luck of epoch.

Ehavior of forest of man had not yet completed
To your hunt mother –soil shook
Man is irritable mad(humba) life is upasthambha
 Killing like this  how many? Sky shook.

 But what oozing of blood
One type for all fingures!

Raga : by poet b.c. ramachandra Sharma

Again again pressure of talk
Request and trouble which worry?
In what kind of speech shall I give hope
When love becomes ocean love is foam

Entering bush (pode shrub)of chest opening hood standing
Becoming curse what a wonder?
Coming from that much broad  eye border
Had swallowd light black cloud?

Eye blossoming mind rolling here and there
When returned to your soil again
 To green of ocean blue of sky
In head burning sunlight shadow yoga.

I melting in you becoming snow
Downed  month light in and out
Red of vasantha  moving becoming cool
 Coming to moderateness(hadake) of magi wonder

Step wife(savathi) to art and poetry
You are a poetry coming   as talk
 Becoming Fascinating body,tell
Even for poetry  like you is raga needed?

Tortoise: by dr H.M.Channaiah


Carrying unbearable weight stretching neck
slowly out,smelling air
rolling(crawling) on stomach  tearing chewing
eat  grass (blade)  one after another;
crawling in dust,swinging(jeeki) in my stool
standing on four legs,holding breath,straightening
lifting body moov by one inch;
  my world is vast; surrounding thorn fence
 water of artificial pond is at four
step distance; I crawl in dust
from above  knife(sword) of sun light
when pricks(pierces)  head, in neck
laughing child thrown fallen stone hit pain.


For sake of artificial pond thirsting for water
 I am Boiling;if tried to moov towards that  enough
From immeasurable depth unknown named comes
From all four sides passing   it’s tubes slowly
Embracing ,tightening hold
 Binds.i being caught in bondage even
not able to moov, in weakness folding body
dried up hand leg face  whole neck
withdraw in shell and sleep un explodable   (unsplitable)shell
embraces  s though exploding. I within shell
under  hair split  of life and death
for   artificial  pond  water  see dream
………………………………..end…………………………………..






 To chap off forest it needs no   special  expertise
But to  grow flower garden  much effort skill is needed
Ownership of  mines  of pearl and ratna  is not unique achievement
But to protect orphans is real service,help to others

From living money pride miser kuberas(richs) no profit to world
 No spirituuual support from them even after death
Expenser(dundugara) as  he  spends self unearned mney
 It exchanging hand,makes it moov indirect economic expantion.
Miser is dangerous to society
 Not eating even himself,not   even allowing   others to eat-
Dog in stable.

Without you what is there to me?  By poet m.n. vyasarao

Without you what is there to me?
All mind is settled in you
 All dreams are arrested in eye.


Waiting for you I pained for you
 Bitter pain of separation you brought day and night
 You did not see  what is desire of chest
you filled in me only  dark
 only light I wanted from you

throwing ray of love
 opening inner colour
in dried up chest land making to flow flow of life
 releasing  me remove my anxiety
 will get new life from you
will world  I will see from you

To write poetry upon you

Removing people those  who  have grown you
 Pricked thorns

towards hut   of those
 who formed(composed) you


 tell electric lamps  can you remove

who brought you here?

came quickly filling pot

“you are tired lease come   inside and rest
spread mat for sitting
“leave it I will sit under shadow of tree
It’s branches  are embracing cool”

 “honey is full in cup,in this vessel
Cold water take take
here is fan  very hot you know
Swing (blow) air from this
Then at once suddenly came blowing south air
 At distance heard music
Emiting in tender mango bud,traveler told
See there is no jolada pali”

 He ate honey  drank water laid down
 For some time in shadow of cool air
Rising(awaking) put thadi(bed) to horse and prepared
 Again for his distant journey

“ will go and come mother he told wearing jacket(shield)
 Wearing sword in his waist
Woman told ‘yes’  you come again
 You should come again here when you come.

 “ I forgot to ask your name
The way in wich you go let there be shadow of goodness
Seing blossomed flower hearing kokila sound
Wy was there filling up of eye  and neck?

Soldier told “moter came to my memory
My place is banavasi ,for me today
Today which  I go is also path of

Bees have  come  here for rasa(juice) with sound’

Here deers have walked with joy
Flowers sheding their drops on cheek
Blowing is cool air of fragrance ‘

 To invite the relatives who have come
 Like stretched arms open
Sounds eard near the door waiting
this might he they thougt

 waiting wit joined hands came outside
he,snowless early morning   like cloth
 sawl on shoulder smile in face
 as though siting one butterfly on leaf(hombale)

said”come in what do you want?
who are you? With doubt
 the people told” it is shivarathri
we ave come for travel
we are but farmers,neigbours
by seing  mahakaleswara very happy
 we heard that you are great  we came to see you

 are you not kavirathna kalidasa?
Submitted kanva’s daughter  to king?
on that day faced  the curse of that girl
accident avoided by ring?

Twist of innocent silence of ambika wit fragrance
 rised to hase(sacred bench) singing kindness of shiva
carrying kavadi(…………………………) of rasa season wheel
of beauties,hills clouds talking about

are you not flower of fence tree asked
 with hesitating tone called,after showing
ospitality poet asked
“wat can I do for you?

 Told byrasimha “yes sir yes
 The cloud  which has sent from
Ramagiri to alakavati yakshini?
 Regarding some thing with you

 For requesting bot have come
Our crops have stood  dried up
Without drop of water, will you tell to cloud
“On the way pour water to them also’

Word pearls:by S V.Parameshwara bhatta
1)If donkey hits you on  some  day
If you don’t hit to it in return
If donkey itself returns the hit
 Most of pain is to you

2)Diging at the  ten  places for about one feet
Don’t say water did not come
Dig about ten feet in one place water comes out see
 
3) the golden day which I gave
You have made it useless
  making red face sees   only me
Sun while goingaway (seting away)

4) do you wont   sing in rainy season
Asked  baka(…………….) to peacock
Where frogs make sound silence
Is  better told peacock.
5)if you swim against river  flow
 Living fish is needed
 To swim along with flood direction 
a rotten stick is enough

6) what is there in name?   if  beautiful name
Don’t be taken away by that
 If molle flower is called ‘kalli’
Will it’s fracrance come down?

Our strength: by poet B.A.Sanadi

In valley of Kashmir
Red spark of enemity
If explodes ,fear to us?our
Strength is hundred times

To mind indulging in war field
Filling up spirit
 Let our house(kethana)be
Shining head high

 What ever may be field of work
Progress increase!
 For our labours and feelings
 may god like us!

Farmer,professional,labourer
Are equal  to war!
 Why to be fearful  for getting earning
 Darkness of hatred!

Holding gun  does the war
Our soldier!
 Let him blow courageous pipe
Our veena player!

 To make warfield colourful
 Secured is back side( background)!
 Till having challenge till success
 Where is peace?

In valley of Kashmir
Red spark of  enemity
 If exploded fear to us? Our
Strength is hundred times

An old story of china:by poet drB.C Ramachandrasharma

‘good’ ‘good’emperor told
The artist did not rise his head

Seven years of incesent(continuous) meditation
had drawn figure on wall
diping in rasa of nature had created brush
world-forest-river,snow covered mountain

 to cloth of black clouds silk border
stitched moon rays
it is not moonthat is ball wanted wanted
the child in axilla of queen was crying
ughe-ughe was shouting  people(folk)
artist did not smile

in pond water looking at their image
 laughed kila kila  mass of stars
whole plant itself plunged giving washed fruit
people stood stretching arm.

Listening was on the bank of  sea
Slept body spilled (lover’s)love talk
 On opening eye standing as witness around
Audians-  to cheek of lass still more red

This is magic -king shouted
Artist did not speak

There was a hill,to hill base half
Closed wooden door
One secret which was not reachable  by complete art
 Was calling  by  waving  hands 

What is beyond that what is there-asked king
 Artist turned towards door
 When emperor made eye guesture
 He opened door and went off

 Fraction of a second before king followd him
 The door was shut  as though air rushing

 To sing is : by poetess vydehi

Why make up of wordsto sing the song
Does bird singaccording to raga prastara
When sac  of emotion bursts note comes out
That becomes song.that by itself!

Where did our eldersknowhow to  write the song
While talking  grinded,purified(keridaru) sorted out
Rubbing silence gave,wept,feasted
Instead of building songthey hit paddy
 They magnified in between ha,hu,hai
That became a song like corn

Where is shortage of  songs to our women
For singing,grinding,stammering speech of little kid
Are not words   only not enough smile of border of mouth  not enough
to small example  of song emiting?

Song can never be built
What is songpaper flower?
Cutting,pasting,smearing relation
(sarige surudu esalu bigidu balavantha(compeling))
(………………………………………………………………………………….)
To keep in pot flower in a corner?

Speaking words are enough to become song
 In midst of metal drumnagari fearful
Leaving fly of l and myself
bell of animal sound  ringing sound
 see from where flute of gopala is flying?
Is asking life erect

Slow moving  flock of sheep seen long back
Memory only not enough
to become song  song to become flood

we are boat house  in the middle of flood of life
when pain turns to joy, we suffer,split(blossom)
 pain and tightness becomes song fragrance
we didicate it to godes of poetry

Open the door give service(seve): bykanakadasaru

came at the moment  immeadeatly available narahari ||

the wicked with severe anger holding sword in hand
 hitting the pillar asking where is your god(lord)
the child worshiped you with firm devotion incessantly
with grandure broke out of pillar narahari||

Song of prayer (prarthana geethe)   :by  chandrashekhara talya?

The green of which bud

Ahaiya: by poetess sukanya kalasa
Before I am killed(murdered) I should become a stone
Not by gouthama’s curse
In colourful brindavana wandering mind
Before squeezing my neck
I should become a stone
Worrying like this
I had watered the plants
 as eye for eye of gouthama
to give  heavenly joy
I had stood only my toe tips
 The begger(bhyragi,saint) neglected me
I became hot iron due to indra’s cheat
I had bent(surrendered)and cooledas per his desire
 I was eye for eye
Only enjoyed for fraction of a second
 To gouthama’s cold breeze both of us shivered(tattarisu)
 I became solid ice
 Indra became eyes bodyful

To melt myself”boy,
Let ramas  heat(heart?) be available”
no gouthama desire
for me only desires of becoming human
 I know
Serpent of gouthama may not rise hood again
 Can’t sow(seed) everything in me
Due to rama’s touch(contact)
 Stone spurt out (burst  out)
 Not a lady(woman,female)

Silver jubili of independence:   by shylaja udachana:
Desire to me  my son
Let him walk by birth only
As soon as it is evening
Desire of seing thousand stars

From coloured cloud of  eah minute
Why dream of measuring epoch(yuga)
How much got
Let us give and take then only business(transaction)

Morning  Rays of life
 Let us not count defects (black)
 Tomorrows world is calling
Why delay in preparation

At least today joining  mind and talk
Let us do marriage come
 Still time has not passed
If we remain like that only
 Separated (broken)marriage is not far away

Shadow of black  blowing it’s
Let our openion be to us
No comparison with equal relatives not needed
When inner mind burns
Full light is definite

At youth of twenty one
Worry of beauty is natural
Broken mind uniting
Fountain has  to  sarit(……………………)
 
In enthusiasm of youth  is boldness
I Will hit earth and extract water
Without melting of heart how
Good ganga will flow full india

I and you  are single grain separated
How will crop come?
Unless decision and good work  unite
Will not forget our land temple

To baba sahib ambedkar : by channanna palikara:
 Next day after you went  life has become as before  Baba sahib
  No body one who laboured   showing interest  have come still

Rising up everyday  our news and celebrations  telling is not yet avoided
Wherever  gone play of upper castes(class)  will allow  to burn  inside

Where ever heard sound of boot legs various pains to us
Unless we are like them cut head ,freedom is only  for name sake to us

In path of going and coming obstructing legs joining  have spread fully
Life of people grown well  and saved  have beaten uring day only

Their talk is like that of birds behavior if brinjal enemity between  talk and behavior
 When all religions have told same  why our people have remained  bitter(khara)
Hand leg ear nose body mind head eye  havw we lost

Bodyful  houseful caught face seal  screaming  struggling  death
Eating wearing by laboring  till nght  woods  are burning very much

Rich people have sit in vehicle  now our distance is not far
Up to what darkness  morning should occur stars are  shining above
All over world  those who have cried before are sitting firmly

How much they will burn  how much they will know  There is limit for tollerence for all
In spite of tollerence  they will sting(bite) as scorpion  poorman is not ordinary
Baba sahib is not mad ,did not remain with Gandhi  simply
 For struggling so much this much is our life  do you know brother

Neelambike: by poet channaveera  kanavi
Good politeness filled up vessel
 Brought neelambike
In yard(angala) of kalyana
Sprinkled to chandas(mwtre)
Rangoli of equal mind
Smoke in and outside
In passing hosilu(doorstep)
Non shaking lamp

Great mother of great house
Spreading clean  madi(holy cloth)
Reserves for dasoha (food distribution)
 Satisfied laugh susalu

From whre where group mass
 Cooling  singing blessing
Filling
Treasure of devotion
Spreaded moon light
 Eor pain of  hand of ayya
gave ornament
weared practice of
mystic decoration

became  shadow of basavanna
became crystal to fingure
became corn(aralu)  in linga
for worship  with fragrance

what pain she never told
 wife did not  hear  wife
like that went to
  confusion of kalyana
water flowing in  in kudala
has become clear come
neelambike came to memory
bring her quickly
in karasthala basava form
going beyond effect
the play which basavaiah played

showing towards linga
here and there dual
union in palm
was there ,not here?
Jangama is life of world
In stand of neelambika
Mahalinga shining
Devotion kalasha  of basavanna
Washing feet of sangama
In air as air
Great light submitted
Melting in prana linga
Neelambara twinkled!

Gouthama came to river bank:  by vikram visaji

Gouthama was seing from bank of anoma
Heartless body
Air  not coming  place
Lightless his palace
Remembered yashodhara
In rain as though sunlight blossoming
Her eye ,nose,,lip,chin
Remembering one by one
 Chest exciting ‘jhal’
Here heart was slowly crying.

Rahul’s little little steps
coming in front of eye
buded leaf of mango tree as though oscilating
from some where thousands of legs
losing moovment rotn smell
was touching(hiting) the nose

seven days after mother’s death lifting me in lap
loving pampering singing cradle song giving hand meals(kaituttu)
 fiding heaven in itself only if laughed
remembering gouthami
 mind was as though  moonlight entering.
Son should rise to throne should rule state
Should wander in midst of smiling face of dancers
Dreaming like this  shudhdhonana’s
Bird of dream beating it’s wing  pata pata
Was moving in front of him
Was oscilating  was hissing

Gouthama thought for  a  while
Below dark of that sky
In sounding river bank
In   body  kissing cool air


Suddenly
in dark sky
instantlt
lightning of light flowing
smearing (pating)back of kanthaka(name of his horse)
for meaning of life
for search of love

Sister is born: by smt savitha nagabhushana:

No celebration ,no enthusiasm
Environment of suthaka(…………….) in house

 Like  desire
Breast milk has  dried up
Begeted mother worries

To rise up  cradle
  nail  is not available
father grumbles

in market sweet
has suddenly increased
making fine  song singing
grand mother’s throat has
 also tightened(infected)

from distance only told
relatives best wishes
no body has  suggested
 name to child

leave let it go
some body consoles
enough enough
sigh itself becoming  name
decorates child

despair, negligence
to tender  child how will it understand?
Smooth little tone
Piercing  jada world   

Fistful of younger sister
Mudi( a measure) sized elder sister
Embraces with affection
Gives fearlessness

Jaji   jasmine:by satyananda pathrota

In little hut no bad dreams
In mind and dreams jaji jasmine
Around dead nerves  no hungry snakes
Blossomed  buds on branch branch

How many crows came , how many  eagles   ate
No  clerk to keep the account
Though for all   piligrams (travelers)  festival(jathre)
No anger on any body.

Before sun rise climbing forest hill
With laugh has run their  journey
Swimming plant ocean  for world welfare
Their eyes have emited   moon light

Coming of Buddha-basava-gandhi is over
 Their pain has no beginning and end
Growing pearl and ratnas in pit of painful chest
Not even once found jiggery in life

Patience of earth’s tollerence has stood  stagnant
Going beyond  land-language
In small hut no bad dreams
In mind –dreams jaji jasmine

Lamp wearer(deepadhari) by poet channaveera kanavi:
One…two…three…
Each one flower light
Child keeping first  of all     little steps counted
Creater!
Is keeping  little steps  learning walking  one
Good  moment(shubha muhurtha)
As though lifting  earth system(globe) above
Rises up  suddenly;
Swinging walking   running on strings
  Various exercise;
He also knows  all it’s  gattu(style?)
Come and see once; pride and style(gardigammatthu)

what ever step kept is posture
what ever   walked  is path
 if missed eye he is universal traveler!
What ever he holds is stubbornness
 What ever  he  talks   is veda
All arguments will tear bottom and run
If rises ,-
Thotthalanduliva(…………………..) sacrifice horse!
If falls- he has no it’s knowledge(sense)
Rising falling rushing walking joy
Travel of adventure-
Now only is running  training for some next  struggle(fight)

Under his presidentship  should  go
This house each work
If missed-
Without seing front and back will blow
War pipe(kahale)!
We have no boldness of standing speaking in front of him;
 Since morning to evening  continuously  burning sun!
If plays ,will go on playing : behaves as per his own will(manasukharaya)
(Namo vighneshwaraya)
Stone or thorn –he does not care anything
Diamond bodied|
Recently has learnt
New  Plan of  crying  without tears in eye
Next moment-good moment –what flashes to him
What gets down from moonland
Blosoms this much broad  smile of round jasmine
As though emited all beauty of this life

Somewhere rises hands  to ten directions
Calls waving unseen
;
 In front of His black eyedancing peacock
Lifts some figure and shows
Searches  Removes moon behind sky
In one vision  searches(jaladu)  stars
If sees flower joys  smells  this rasika(interested)
 To stytalk (banuli,akashavani)teaches  new song
   
Holding sun ray stick wants to rise up
In soil selects gold particles
 Counts feather of  birds flying above
 hits and talks with  silent airs

during day continuous worker,at night  pide piper
in sleep mover in yaksha world
shining monthly light to his tender eye
in path of day lampwearer to us

Rice (food) sacrifice: by dr da. Ra bendre  (anna yajna):

No milk to kids,animal killing is taking place
Grain is there   no food,mad of money has held
 Dark there no light, fire has  attached to world
All is there where is not there here only  in sorroundings

As though enough give  at time of need
 Butter Oil pour come to hungry stomach and head top(netthi)ss

   
Remembering coming death few are eating more
Grain is not enough  to peoples jealous
Even after seing this  don’t rise to anger
 In it’s stomach has born this devil’s(ghost) madness
If you want to live in life patience is needed
 Life may become death if  merely pained

Grain  store is war,people’s dead body  Will they earn for death. ?
Who for whose life will they die for some hand?
Protecting hands are killing ! will they moov towards death
Those who penance  for  will they hold seed of life?
In midst of sea of tears  are floating   are grounds
 Mother’s  milk is boiling as waters  became red

Sowing  existing ground  making land what ever exists
To living mouths food  should be fed
Annadana(food donation) is great sacrifice(yajna)Ifoodless can’t rule
Concealing (covering) food who lives  is great   wicked(khula?/)
In competition on earth rather than theme (hurulu)empty (hollow,jollu)is more
Win and die to get likings of mad people

Again on chest of earth  bunch of crop flag stand
Let the words that  life is better than death  win
From body of poison let fountain os rasa emit
Let love come as fruit in words of  poet

No people who lick gold and live,distribute(enhance) anna(food)
Brothers don’t mix soil in rice.s

Those carrying petromax:by poet  jambanna  amarachintha

Who are these who are these?
Towards which are going?

Since long time(from generations to generations) on head
Who carry light and moovthose and these,whom to why
Un familiar to their own shadows
Scholar poets forgotten
Folk  chandas(metres).

On head heat of  lamp
Inside stomach heat of hunger
 Boiling through out lifebecame steam and went
Everyday  from  stomach delivered hunger

Haves stolen winners in elections
In the light they carried
Shined laka laka!
Who  are these ?
Not visible to eye
Carriers of petromax
Under  dark of light
Standing as dark
In mud of dark
Carrying and going
