ದಿನದಿನವು ಹಳಸುವುವು, ದಿನದಿನವು ಕೊಳೆಯುವುವು |
ಮನುಜಕುಲದೆಲ್ಲ ಕೃತಿವಿಜಯವಿಭವಗಳು ||
ಅನುದಿನವು ಮತ್ತವನು ತೊಳೆದು ಹೊಸತೆನಿಸುವುದೆ |
ಜನುಮಸಫಲತೆ ನಿನಗೆ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||


dinadinavu haLasuvavu, dinadinavu koLeyuvavu |
manujakuladella krutivijayavibhavagaLu ||
anudinavu mattavanu toLedu hosatenisuvude |
janumasaphalate ninage - mankutimma ||

Everyday do they deteriorate, everyday do they rot
All human accomplishments, achievements and assets.
Everyday to renew them and infuse in them new vigor
Is the success of thy living - Mankutimma.

  1. Translator's thoughts:"It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it." - Anais Nin
