Holding deer in hand,snake wearer(nagabharana) (having snake as ornament), someshwara always protect   world with kindness.

1)as many rivers joining to become one big sea,man  by learning few matters by scholars,few by scriptures,few by behavior of others,few by self intellect,few by by friendship of good people,
Becomes sarvajna(all knower).
2)therefore ethics to be helpful to all soma(poet) composed this someshwara shathaka.if there are mistakes gentleman  if show and correct them and spread  their virtues in the world and also think I belong to them.
Highness(shrestathe):
3)even if trere is mirror in hand  in water can we see our shadow of face in water?evev if there kamadhenu will anybody rear barren cow for milk? Virtuous people (   good charectered people)
After  milk  meals will they eat any other food?rather than melody  in speech of parrot will there  be more melody than cry of crow? Rather than dance of apsara female rambha will dance of  dombas be more well?is there anything greater than friendship?

4)in men poetgold in metals,ganga in holy water,chaste(pathivrathe) among women,sun among planets,shrungara rasa among rasas. Shiva among gods is superior.
5)sun to sky,moon to night,son to family, lotus to lake,things offered in sacrifices(yajnas),chastity for woman,poet to king’s assembly(sabhe) is decoration.
6) in world god higher than shiva,ray giving more happiness than  moon ray,well wishers beyond(than) father and mother, more closer than wife,relatives more than education,bow holder(soldier,billalu) more than manmatha ,to take service   better than guru  no body exists.

Feel her as though having child..god’s worship,shraddha,marriage, vratha celebration(performance), excetra for good works she is fit for.if she donates rice(food) and water all her family (race) gets liberated.

80one who does good is relative,one who protects is father, wife walking in  religious pathis cause of all happiness.one who has taught even a single letter is guru.one who follows in vedic path is muni, good education only  gives punya(good deed result),son is cause of good fate.(liberation).
9)one  who can protect people(citizens) is king.one who  does not desire for bribeissuitablemanthri(minister), he is religious who can protect  father and mother,one who has devotion in god  is devotee,,one who has no fear is soldier,one who has good behavior is brahmana.

10)though there are crores of  twnkling insects(minchu hulu,honne hula)) is it equal to one sun?
 So many stars are they  equal to  moon?are ordinary stones   equal to jeeva ratna? Is water snake equal to adishesha?,group of crows  are they equal to garuda(eagle)? Will   anybody  compale  salt and sugar?    

11)to king boldness in war,to rich intellect(attitude) of donation,to poet(composer) mastery in  (scholarship) in music,to specialist(scholar) in fine arts like music,drawing, skillful wife,to writer(clerk,karanika) religious mind,,to minister four  knowledge of four  techniques of sama,dana,bhedha(differention),danda(punishment)  if exists , it shines  like gold with fragrance.

14)for all people rain is supportive.for all gods shiva is supportive ,for all lives crop is cause,for all lives poor is easy(available for work),among  all ornaments  bangles are important,among all utsavas(celebrations)  son’s ceremony (puthrotsava)is important, among all friend is best.
15)in region with no proper rain,in state in which king is interested in taking tax only,,in places where there are more tigers and lions ,where there is other female(parasthree),in towns without facilities,In places where there is more sorrow than joy,in places where there are pishachies(ghosts and devils),
People with viveka(ability to discriminate good and bad),should not reside.
16)money not used,sun not looking after in old age,rain not coming while crop is drying,relative who does not  comeenquire are useless.help got in need though smll is great.

19)lazy,stubborn,angry person,(chadikora…………………),bad behaved,one who scolds  beats his wife always,one sinner who does not tolerate  with sound(rich) relatives who can eat and wear.one without clevrness,one who does bad things- such people  good people don’t want to talk even if seen.
20)to words of female,failing gambling,  to praise of low people,to very sinful works,for little matter,for friendship of servants(maid), without any revenge(first doing wicked and then  not able to avoid),  for medicine,mantras(chants), beads(mani),to doubtful places intelligents will not be mad(illused).
21) meals without ghee and tove,tongue always desiring  for meals of others house,life of poverty,wife always angrying and quarelling, mouth without pan(tambula),eyes seing other’s women(parasthree),
,to king who misses his words should be considered as very low.
22)son without politaness,rushi(saint) without purity,scolding wife,tasteless (spoiled)ricemeals,big man in friendship of bad people,soldier nt available to war,relative  not useful in difficulty,traditional  person who has left shiva,are not suitable  corresponding names.
23)association in which people kill and rob,loss of   income without work,to put hand in profesion which is beyond capability,war in which there is no indication of winning,agriculture (phloughing) done in
Infertile(nissara) land,dependence on small people,after deciding to do one work,to not to think of  one way and thinking of many ways,profit of gambling,to sale existing house,mercury,poisons medicines-all these produce illusion  that they are useful.

25)in unacquainted places,in places with cheaters,with king speaking critically (nistura) always,in place there is possibility of getting false allegations,where there is deficiencyfood and water,in midst of enemies,,in friendship of bad people,,in group of wickeds  one should not exist.

greatness of fate(vidhi maime):
26) to bird wandering in forest if one tree does not yield fruiy will it not ger other fruit giving trees?if one flower dries up in plant will bee  not get other flowers  having honey?like that some one by pride By telling false in place of truth becoming miser then,, to help to that poet will not be there,  will  there not anybody     to give help?
27) manmatha lost his body ,high king harischandra  became  sevant  to chandala ,brahma lost got head, for shukracharya one eye was lost . nala became   kastara(…………….) of horse,,indra ,losing amrutha  and got defeated in  war,srirama lost his wife. when this is the way  in world to go beyond luck,

28)even if  all enemies are cut in war,,though fighted with  king more,though eshwara  made to like by penance asking boon,though wandered in many foreign countries,evev if seven sees are done upside down,though  learnt many heart loving educations, only what is to be got is got and nothing extra can be got.
29)if earth itself swallows  seed sowd in earth,if fence itself grazes all the crops of land,if husband punishes his wife cruely,if king himself violates his citizens(peoples),if fruits given by tree   is  eaten by
Tree itselfif delivered mother herself gives poison, if eshwara kills animals by himself,is it possible for others to avoid and protect?
30)did Tripuras were  not born?but they did not survive.lanka did not stand to ravana.dwaraka  plunged
(drowned) in sea,gopura was not attained by bhillas.shatpura was not got by  wicked kumbhaand nikumbha; kamsasura could not live in madhura,therefore though wealth is got  for it to stand firm there should be punya.
31)lower one beda(hunter) sri Krishna,one kuruba  a valiant called  shudrika,a woman called amba parashurama,shikhandi bhishmscharya,student of dronacharya who was washing clothes of teacher drustadyumna is he not cause of  vanishing(destruction)?  If there is fate even efficient (samartha)is
Killed by small  also.
32)did shiva not beg alms?did droupadi was not  a servant(dasi) in virat nagara?did not pandavas beg and eat by holding pots? Was not seethe caught by   ravana? Did harischandra not become watchman of  grave yard?therefore people should  experience and finish fruits of karmas done in previous lives.
33)povery to those with courtesy,to educated ignorant dull wife,to muda(mad) skilfui wife,long life to sinner,for miser more wealth, short span of life for people doing good work, giving all these  brahma is he not blamable?
34)in big forest who pours  water to trees daily?whough demon(rakshasa)ill they go near panchabhuthas(five elements) and beg humbly?hey,eshwara!who will protect the world except yourself? Where is freedom for man to take and give?
35)thoufg moon becomes charmless in krishnapaksha(fortnight) again will he not develop in shukla paksha(fortnight)?very small seed of  banyan tree exploding falling on earth  won’t bud out and become big tree? Did tender calf  growsinto bull(ox)? Small nut will it not become fruit? In same way if there is god’s grace poor becomes in once upon a tine becomes rich.
36)developinghis own caste(kula),getting wealth and longlife,living with wife who is defectless,and joyful son,as devotee of eshwara,having firm body fitness, joy is got only  by punya done in previous life and not got ordinarily.
37)though kamsa king of madhura, was impossible to all did his desires fulfilled?  Did not dwaraka plunge in sea?saindhava though hidden in army of kouravas did he live?thoughdemon(rakshasa)
 By name dundubhi digged earth and hided in  was death avoided?therefore when  god troubles it is not possible to live happily.
38) will trees helpful to birds  take birth   only in one place?are all countries spoiled?is there no king who suppot  and honour poets  by giving residence ? is mother education barren?it means will education not give  residence (ashraya) to scholars?will all become enemies in world? Is there nobody  not  having Kindness?god after creating   men will he kill without protection?   

39)by desiring other’s female(wife),Moon to curse of bruhaspathi,indra to curse of gouthama got targeted;kichaka by bhima,vali by sugreeva,ravana by rama,died.therefore excess of fascination of  other’s woman(parasthree) leads to bad.

40)Will drunkard  knowing yogi as  worshipable will he  respect him? One who has friendship with king will he see poor people with love?one who walks in bad path will he respect as worshipable,as big? Wicked people will they  allow gentleman  without disyurbing?
41)if neem leaf is eaten as bud will it be sweet?if   small scorpion is caught with love will it not stinge(bite)? If snake is protected  by making to drink milk will they show faith(vashwasa) in us? With desire of rearing bird does anybody  rear owi kid with affection?will enemy be neglected as boy?
42)making gold deer to wander ravana who stole seethe did he remained alive?rakshasa who stole Vedas though he hided in sea will he survived?vailiant shudrika  for having stolen  was he left without being tied to kanchavala tree?
43)believing mayamruga(magic deer) as real gold deer  rama being cheated by ravana departed seethe,seetha considering  ravana as real saintcoming out from pernashala(leafhut) came out and caught by him; he carrying her  away became cause of his death.when bali emperor (chakravarthy) was performing yajna(sacrifice) to vamana who came there as brahmachari though shukra told not to donate, Without listening  ,bali became victim of  vamana’s cheating and lost all states.for that reason  excess of cheating  really brings sorrow.
44)somakasura who stole Vedas and went,hiranyaksha who polled earth like mat and went to  pathala,ravana  who stole(kidnapped) seethadevi  rama whohad got seethadevi by winning inwar against all  kingswho opposed,by pride of strength  fighting winning many towns nobody enjoyed what they had won.therefore ego is harmful.
45)manmatha who faught against eshwara  was burnt into ashes.banasura who faught with Vishnu lost his thousand  arms.rahu who came and sat  equal with moon  was cut by vishnu’s chakrayudha(wheel weapon)  ,  is it possible for  rat to  war on elephant?it means if a weak goes against strong for war will have bad effect.
46)though married to  good family born female falling in friendship of  prostitute will not have love in that female. Trying to do  caste(community) mixing  always staying in cpmpany of wicked, undergoing bad desires  called ‘saptavyasanas’, won’t keep eye on good behavior(sadachara). Leaving atma jnana (knowledge of self) will not protect dharmas. Therefore for people to get spoiled  ‘yugadharma’ is strong reason.
47)if lion is held with love will it leave hatred? For bad smelled   things  if good scented cardamom  ia smeared, will it’s   bad smell  be destroyed?will tail of dog becomes straight if it (tail) is  tied by stick? If a scorpion fallen  in fire is removed by hand will it not stinge(bite). In same way ,though  how ever much told to  low person how ever much done won’t leave his bad nature.
48)when there is nothing to eat man will be humble,does not care for honour.rich people will get angry if anybody  looks at them, If talked tey will swell with pride. Get intoxicated and have giddiness (vertigo)
Blame everybody.when it is like this  where is ethics to  human?
49)grain beating stick can be made  straight,well can be digged in rock, steel can beaten and made soft.sand can be sqeezed to extract oil, lion in forest can be tamed. Cruel tiger can  be called nearer.but severe dullards(murkha)  can’t be made to listen to advice.
50) appreciating what ever is told  nodding head  being mad by their words  swelling,shouting wit his hands on  head,playing  hands, rising arms above , doing mischief  like  monkey,imitating others, without hesitating to any work, leaving shyness, not being called good by others such person will not get sadgathi(liberation).
Money appreciation:
51) if grace of lakshmi is missed(if poverty comes) caste people won’t  without allowing with them to join, bycot,no brides are given, without cause king will punish.if house is entered wife will quarrel and  make to run off.borrowers  keep stone on head.if floor (ground) is touched it will also get angry.-it means to poor all will become opposers.(opposition).
52)rich though not having patience  called as tolerant,though full of pride prideless.though by donating   imitated as ‘satyavratha’, thougu promises are missed  promise keeper, even if angry as patientful,,though characterless  good charectered, though born in low caste as high caste born, is called-it means wealth makes all bad charecters of man into good charecters.
53)by punya done in previous life people without understanding their capacity (fitness), with excessive ego if others call them will belike deaf without listening. Tough hands are well  walking on hands on  two others as though hands have broken.though they can talk will be like dumb.though legs are normal hesitate to walk.
54)when drupada was  king his childhood friend drone came to him out of poverty did he honour remembering previous friendship?though  knowing pandavas are religious  did duryodhana gave state to them?did kamsa thinking Krishna  as   his sister’s son  left hatred.therefore from where  can affection come as relatives?
55)without strengthening  towns and forts,without considering difficulties of people(citizens),believing that all are faithful to him,  without thinking his income and expenses, doing excessive sleep beyond limit,who is always interested in sense objectsis only untamed  he bufelow  not king.
56)having  support of strong ones,nearer (left and right)  his state  are friendly, land always fertile  giving good crop,without collecting penalty  with injustice ,looking after all people well happily,king who rules without loosing faith   from anybody such king is very lucky.
57)in war,in valients on his side,in people of his state,in relatives(jnathiies),in servants, in town,in relatives, in meals,in medicines, in gods matter,in enemies, about  foretelling(jyothisha) and manthra vadies,in scholars,in females, king sould always be careful.
58)high scholars,poets,musicians,in pouranikas,praisers,jesters(fun makers),,historians,manthra specialists, shakuna specialists, by yakshi talking suitably,prostitutes, specialists in archery, weapons, excetra strong in all educations,,soldiers,army chief,-if all these are present then king’s assembly(rajasabha) will shine.
59)fickle minded without firm  mind,thieves,gamblers, prostituters,self prestigious, cheaters,people giving false witness,praisers, false tellers(chadikora,false allegaters)  who have got bad names, those act as having brhmajnana (kutsithas……………), those who are satisfied with getting support of king(rajashraya)  feeling enough, all these are fit (eligible) for respect from king.
60)for those are efficient in war ganji for half stomach,,for useless cowards feast,to those who spread fame to king only two anas,giving free  donation  to those who blame king indirectly , to wife little joy,to prostitute who gives  all joys, to such king where is ethics?
61) very serious,courtesious,bold,virtuous,(good charectered), truthful, having learnt many  languages,
Scripts (lipis),without desiring bribe,as having rules,having religious  matters, having known  four kinds of plans(techniques) who is interested  in  king’s  services, is high(superior) minister.
62)collecting money from various plansfor state,thinking king as god,without differentiating  enemies are ours or outsiders,  without bending on one side,remaining equal like balance,lovable by all peopleshanubhoga is pure like kashi piligrimage .
63)without showing even little desire near owner,accepting bribe outside,taking remuneration for the  work of government from people,destroying  more profit coming to king,telling false allegations on others(chadi) traiting them,avoiding their life,without seen by anybody clerk who eats  king’s income,he is equal to rat(heggana).
64)thinking big man making low person as dalavayi,by giving him all authorities, he violating and peeling(robbing) people,by virtue of power(authority) shuting mouth of other officers,without giving anything to them,eating all will be cruel   like kalayama .such person is not dalavayi but big mari(hemmari).
65)enthusiastic  to king,joy producing to all people like honey vessel filled always by honey,earth by fruits, shining by crops, secured forts   on all borders, wealth  and grain filled up in treasury, minister who makes is superior among ministers.
66)without knowing path of  thief running away after stealing,those who have come to town and going out of town,without noticing what people talk ,blames,injustice without considering these making allegatoions on  mistakeless   people, talavara paining(troubling) everybody is lower(inferior).
67) parrot,cone(shankha), elephant,horse,veena,cow,tala,drum(bheri) mangala patakas(mangala singers),danceprostitutes,bud,flower, fruit,two Brahmins, mirror,muton,vessel filled with henda(liquor),
Big flame these are good shakunas.
68)monkey,ganiga,snake wood, jain saint,butter milk,those who have applied oil,enemy,single Brahmin,open(spread) jata(tuft of hair),one who has jata,blood,empty pot,,crying handicaped,
Lepper(leprosy patient),widow,killing,smoke-is  if  seen  knloledgeble people won,t moov further.
Dream:
69)pond,lotus,buding garden,flower garden,horse,parrot, kid of swan bird(hamsa bird),bull,white bird,choultry,bud,filled oond, white lotus,gods,gods,bee-if theseare seen in dream it is good.
70)money,blood,thil,he- bufelo,sheep,fall of hand held weapon,war field,beda(hunter)…………..)Physically handicapped,grazing goat,pallakki,red flower,oil applied head,new house, rakshas(demons) –if these are seen in  dream  it is bad.
 Prostitution tradition:
71)Old man,lame ,blind, curved bodied  riding on ox,dumb,fool,coward,deaf,chandala,who is suffering from fever,leprosy –in such people  only by giving money prostitutes accept.
72)one who is having money though he is   ugly like dead body,without leaving him  always shows love.by dramatic (butatike) words by producing  joy in his mind very much, like cat playing in front of milk, plays fun.soon after his money  closes she even does not talk to him. This is character of prostitutes.
73) making  complication (ragale)  denying her hero pulling his whole body robbing all his  good things
Eating,at end giving words to other person,as first one told no money ,allowing her mother to quarrel making him to run,,appreciating prostitute is very hard.

Other’s service:
74)shiva  who is under control of devotees,as per words  of his devotee  nimbi,he became  head holder (talehiduka)(broker?…………………….) to him.brahmana  by name kala koushika gave many troubles to harischandra’s wife chandramathi devi.king of virata hit hit head of dharmaraja by dice.droupadi under went many difficulties.therefore other’s service is very difficult.
75)after destroying four  part  forces (chaturanga force) in war to soldiers who  have ability to bring success ganji,to lower animals with them like dogs feast foods kings give. Therefore one who  is subordinate to other no honour.
General ethics:
76)tosplit(cut)rock is possible only by small  steel chisel (uli)and  not by treading by big bodied elephant.though one who knows  planning is single  is equal to crores of ordinary people.to lift heavy weight  it is not possible by bigtree; to sanne(fulcrum?……………) used for lifting  weight has thousand people’s strength.
77) one who knows how to war only  should   become soldier. One who knows various types of  skills should become minister. one who has patience  without anger who ever may tell what ever. One who has won kama(lust),anger(krodha), should become yogi. One who can pay penalty  by his own hand should become guarenter (responsible) to other’s loan.
78)one who is afraid  manmatha(kama,lust)is not a yogi.one who is afraid of his wife is not husband. Elephant which is afraid   intoxicated elephant (madadane ,wild) is not elephant. One who is not capable of dancing  and runs away is not a prostitute.one who is afraid of  argument is not a scholar horse which is afraid of hit of arrow is not good horse species. One who is afraid of war is not a valiant.
79)daughter to suitable bridegroom,,donation should be given to fit (pathra,capable)person .in matter of  relatives desire of money,,friendship of bad people,should be left. Devotion in eshwara, faith in one’s owner should be possesed.what ever god has given  should be   given to others as meals and  himself should also eat.
80)by searching earth what is inside can be known. Waves of sea can be counted.can go beyond seven seas. Can learn how to moov in sky. Hills can be crushed into powder.but it is impossible to know theFemale mind’s openion.
81)emperor bali won indra in war and climbed his chariot;group of big hills  followd him he emited by his arrow.such person  three feet  earth begging vamana  seven seas,eight directions, three worlds,donating within few seconds,without being able to pay the loan feared and ran to pathala.therefore no other  burden is greater than  higher than loan.
82)don’t take responsibility of shop loanresponsibility of all town people, sins, blames.in son, in good wife ,in friends don’t conceal. Don’t hide justice and truth.tender children,birds,old people,women, cows, Brahmins, directionless (orphans…) don’t arrest.don’t pledge ornaments  and make loan amd pay interest.
83)as seethadevi was  near ravana for long time rama doubted to accept her.to avoid that doubt seethe did agni pravesha (fire entry) and got pure.jumbu fruit  cut   from tree droupadi made to rejoin tree and became great pathivratha(chaste). Sri krisna brought syamanthaka mani (bead)  which was lost and gave to sathrajitha in assembly(sabhe) and showd thah allegation upon him was false. In spite of doing so  complaint upon them  did not go.therefore it is not possible to make people to accept(like).
84) to vamana who begged three steps of earth bali emperor  did he not give three worlds?indra who came in form of giduga(……………) when asked,   to cut muton  from body and give shibi chakravarthy (emperor)  did he not give whole his body?when eshwara asked  siriyala   his son’s mutonfor food did siriyala not provide? Therefore in matter of donation  for renunciaters(thyagies) nothing  is more.
85)for  mad(dullard) better education,path to blind, to poor hatred in people, work to heavy bodied, young wife to old man,to any body loan, to very miser to do rice donation  is very difficult.
86)to yogies consciousness(knowledge) of eshwara’s  form, to shiva sun and moon, lotus to Vishnu,fire to night,,sun to three worlds, scriptures to scholars, to king poets are eyes.
87)eshwara to manmatha,unchaste woman to relatives, father not making  to learn to children, loan to respectable families, beautiful to husband,young wife to old man are enemies.
88)big fish whale  on pushing  fish by name thimi did not sea boil(ukkuvudu(……………..)?in bamboo forest  different bamboos rubbing each other will tre be no  fire  flame? On churning ocean by mandara mountain  world burning poison  was it not produced? In same way birth of quarrel between one another is cause of wicked(bad).
89) as narada showd much closeness  (freeness)   did not get big curse?one gandharva by name pushpadantha prevented one apsara(divine lass) did he not get pig birth/ though droupadi asked  in many ways  not to, keechaka playing  sarasa(……….) with her ,  bhima killed him. So excessive closeness I brings wicked(bad).
90)rain bow,army  shown by skill if magic, clouds getting different shapes, for play sake boys building katte(stage),money seen in drean, bubble on water, lamp kept in air, mirage  appearing as  flowing water,letter on water, water drops at the end of  grass, -like these wealth is momentary.
91) honey kept in rain, education learnt by shudra,  salivated(enjalu…………..) feast,  money watched by serpant,  wealth collected by  miser,  with how  ever much  will not be useful to others.there by earning money  without  enjoyinment what is the use?
92)karna wearing dress of Brahmin, though learnt  archery(dhanurvidye) with parashurama got wicked(bad). Shukra  by doing manthropadesha  to his  two desciples ilvala and vathapi  demons and got worried.  Daughter  of karkotaka jaratkaru  though had  learnt manthra and tanthra  being not able to bring back her husband therefore even great scholar also becomes directionless..
93)in past gentlemen (sachcharithas) to get fame experienced many difficulties. By giving   prizes with honour till sun, moon, stars exist   got  permanent fame.now there is nobody who give like that.let it go,won’t speak evev good mouth talk also.
94)animals,cruel animals, birds, snakes, unseen by eye very cruel  ghosts(devils),strong soldiers,scholars,ministers, rushies,  peacefup,yogis, citizens, will not they love their own children  with love?
95)blind mirror,bad pathed poets,miser donater, barren  woman love of children, thief moon ,dullard(mudha) rasa of poetry,sinner good people,monkey ratna,if dog rejects lion what is loss to these things?
Study taught by hiting and beating by teacher, severe medicine curing disease,grain sowd and grown with difficulty, to win over enemies by war,to deliver children,to wear bangles to hand, to have pdependence (ashraya) on king,to collect money  for  difficult time,business-all these are difficult at beginning and give joy at end.

Appreciation of knowledge:
97)Having dirt in stomach only by washing above will one become pure?one who has done many sins  if he takes bath in many piligrims will he be purified?will group of  crows does not take bath?if neem fruit is dipped in  jiggery juice will it lose it’s bitter and become sweet?there to keep mind pure is cleanliness(madi).
98)without earning dharma(religion,duty)and fame,without converting punya(good deeds) into sinswithout knowing all universe is brahma by listening to tatvas(principles),by thinking well within oneself knowing one’s self form(swarupa),only by words telling I am brahma(vachanabrahma) liberation will never be got.
