Mankutimmana Kagga by D.V. Gundappa
ಮರ ತನ್ನ ಹೆತ್ತ ಬೀಜವನಿಲ್ಲವೆನಿಸಿ ವಿ- । ಸ್ತರಿಸುವಂದದಿ, ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ತನ್ನ ಮೂಲವನು ॥ ಮರೆಮಾಚಿ ತಾನೆ ಮೆರೆಯುತ್ತಿಹುದು ಕಣ್ಗಳಿಗೆ । ನೊರೆ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಪಾಲ್ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ॥ ೭೫ ॥
mara tanna hetta bIjavanu illavenisi । vistarisuvandadi, sRuShTi tanna mUlavanu ॥ maremAchi tAne mereyuttihudu kaNgaLige । nore sRuShTi pAl brahma - Mankutimma ॥ 75 ॥
ಒಂದು ಮರ ತನ್ನ ಮೂಲವಾದ ಬೀಜವನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲವಾಗಿಸಿ ತಾನು ಬೆಳೆದು ರೆಂಬೆ ಕೊಂಬೆಗಳಿಂದ ವಿಸ್ತಾರವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆವಂತೆ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತೂ ಸಹ ತನ್ನ ಮೂಲವಾದ ಆ ಅಗ್ನಿಗೋಳವನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲವಾಗಿಸಿ ಮೆರೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ ಮತ್ತು ನಮಗೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದು ಹೇಗಿದೆ ಎಂದರೆ ಆ ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ಹಾಲಾದರೆ ಅತೀ ಉಷ್ಣತೆಯಿಂದ ಕಾದು ಕಾದು ಉಕ್ಕುವ ಹಾಲಿನ ನೊರೆಯಂತೆ ಈ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ ಮಾನ್ಯ ಗುಂಡಪ್ಪನವರು ಈ ಕಗ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ.
A tree grows big and wide out of a seed by destroying it. Just like that, the creation has kept hidden its origin and is exhibiting diversity to our eyes. In a tumbler full of milk, the foam is creation and milk is the creator himself. [Translator's note: No one knows the origin of this creation. In our lifetimes, we may not even know it ever. We only come close to some approximations and hypothesis about the origin and nature of this universe. One such theory is that it that the creator and the creation are not two different things - its one. The creator manifests in the ever changing form of creation and returns to original (if any one form can be called so) form every now and then. The foam on the milk, is essentially made of milk only... in a different form. The bubbles are varied - some small, some big live for a short time before going back to milk which is permanent.] - Mankutimma
