1)Poetry
collection hanathe(lamp)1933:
1)My
song:
Like
flower in body of creeper
Is
hiden my song
When to break and come slowly?-
Will
enjoy-will fear
Measuring
all sorrows of chest
Eye
tear getting dried
Only that
call remaining
My
song blosoms(splits)
Making
life a mad-
Love
raaga (tune) burning going
When
it’s ash-memory-stands
My
song splits(blosoms)
One
desired existance eternal
love coming fading
only
desire remaining
my
song blosoms
like
love of innocent
hided
is my song
when breaking nest of thought
will
it come I fear

2)gift
of love:
In
my life was beauty
Difficulties long sighs
Success,song,peace,revolution
Before
entry of love also
Love
came,wiped past
Carried
lightning to life
New
sun,moon star,
New
fragrance,song
Has
made to stand on life stage
To
rule life of beauty
“when
love rules,ruling beauty
Existance
to pain?” told(i)
Queen
brought-true—to life
Reality of playing veena
Nobody
sees she herself has brought
Sorrow’s
new sigh?

3)from
poetry collection:maandakiru:
3)
lamp(hanathe):joy fading,sorrow rising
Fear
spreading-responding
Mind
requests to god
Laming
human loves
If
there is joy why god?
Why
offerings and piligrimages?
When
desires dry up
Why
subordination of hurry?
On
understsanding love selfishness
renunciation
Why
belief in liberation?
To love
of deathful man if there is eye
Why
god’s grace?
Dedicating
desire draging to sin
Pain
burning
If
not available anywhere on earth
Excuse,kindness,sympathy
In
war of tumult of selfishness
nonselfishness
Desirire
getting openedon that day will request god
”pour,
peace to mind!”
God,have
enlighted lamp
To
you in your chest house
Desire,tears,fear,desires
Have
filled oil in lamp
Till
base(nele) lamp twinkling
Will
request lord(honourable)!
On oil
drying up,lamp putting off
,where
you are shunya(zero,bayalu)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4)one
evening:
Time
drowned-faded
Earth
rolling in morning
On
mother disappearing
Like
child playing in dust getting dirt(maasu)
Became
dark shined above
Like
stars
Like
dark of screen
Reflecting
some light
At
botom I am this ancient
Fascinating
dark and stars
In
real condolence there
comparing to shining feel (bhava)

become light hey, mind:
Become
light hey mind become light hey mind
Fly
leaving me
Fly
reach hari
On
toching me you become dirt(contaminated)
If
you leave me clean and defectless(nishkala)
Leaving
me who flow
Going
forward reach hari
Flying
in vastness of sky
Joining
sky border like post
Milk
ocean sleeper black beauty
Play
in breath you becoming his breath
Loving
light blosomed flower’s air coming
Go
along with you mind
Listening laughing talk of innocents
Remember
nandagokula mind
Gari
mudurusuva alalantanu(……………………?) melting
Remember
in colour of shyama
Bathing
rising in holy kaali
Mix
with bright of beautiful eyess
Become
light hey mind become light hey mind

6)that tree:
Drinking below mud and dirt
Blosoms flower in upper sky
At root base you eat stools
Above give ripened fruits
In chaithra (spring) world is burning with dry earth
You eject juicewearing tnder leaves
Projecting jade in severe sunlight
You threw cool air shade below
In winter giving yourself to snow
You stand bear(nacked) droping leaves
In ashada sorrm devil
Does not leave even a single leaf
I am not impure or contaminated
I am not living for only for me
By me no harm to others
I have no anybody’s help
Who ever wants I will give that
I will die while giving giving
Even if I die I am odourless fragrance
If died you are smeilling cadaver(dead body)
…………………………….end……………………
7)
shadow:
above
one eagle is flying:
below
it’s shadow is running
to
that it’s desired path
to this
street where ever flown
in
land land on house and house
though
not seen pond, well, as though seen
plant
gulma(……………?) ups and ups
without
telling only one border to it
if air blows runs in
land!
Which
plan will become across?
Caught
withot becoming tired
Walk
to this without stop
Seing
this I remember today
What
is this shadow gandhi!
where
mind of hari flows
this
bold walks towards that
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
8)argument
in support of war:
Truth
only wins
Not
false
This
is future
What
wins is truth
False(myth)
fails
Like past
At
present?
War
only is truth
Peace
is myth(false)
For
decision of this
War
only is important
Peace
is untollerable
In
war only hint of truth
In
war only vanish of false
till
when desire of truth to people
till
that ready for fight
this
is pure worship of truth
this
is called war
this
argument of war support (promotion?)
give
joy to reader!

10)problem
of critic:
See

O

Come

Nod
head
Telling

What
is this word explosion
!this
is his winder
my
worry
“why

Ayyo
poor creature
Is
my acceptance needed?
Why
this hobby (addiction) to him?
Some
desire moderationless language
Feel
also blind
Theme(thirulu)
to talk also
“imagination
high
Words
little difficult
Meaning
is unclear
Difficult
to know”
When
I told like this
This
saraswathi ‘s son
Will
he believe
Though
sky falls?
Clever
in all
dull
in poetry
if
told ,defect of friendship!
Silence
is better.

11)this
dark this lamp:
This
dark this lamp
Which
king(lord) enlighted this
See it’s oscilation(response) ,pity
My
sympathy to it
For
sin one more sin
Fot
pain one more pain
To
following pain(anuthaapa) of sin and pain
To
house house
One
lamp of osage(good function)|
Desire
lamp of human development(highness)
Brings
desire your hesitation(?)
Though
world expires
Don’t
leave haith you
Without
uting off air in middle
Physical
dust of science
Like
black cloud heart lakshmi
Runing lamp play
This
dark this lamp
Who
enlighted this king(lord)?

3)importance
of forgetfulness:
To

14)
subordination:
Fish fighting with water
Can it live
Self
which struggles with body
Can
it reside?
Today
which does not accept back
Can
it see forward(future)
In
fool *aviveki humba)tells no subordination
Will
subordination go?
Air
lightwater green
Orest wetland dry land
Womb
breath subordination every where
If
suboedination remains no life
What
is there in struggle?
Making
wondering to ego work
What
is theme((use)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
15)time-shadow-night:
When
time appearing coming made
Shadow
long
Again
rising rising
Made
it small
While
downing downing (coming down)
Made
it long again
Till
nightplayed with thiruli( irulu?,sathva,saara…?)
When
night came no shadow
swallowd
remained
hurule(……………..?)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
17)desire
has no completion (fulfilment) of
destruction:
Orphan
child is crying
Mother
will pick up
Much
poor requests
That
god will show grace
Mass
of people is screaming
That
lords will open earold people desire
That
childern will look after(protect)
Poet
builds poetry
Rich
people will like it
But
what
Oneself
by oneself
To
kill desire?
Telling
to it be eternal(nithya)
This
world (life)has given promise
To
god this is fun
