Why bother about a recluse who is rid of all bonds? Give food to the weak and hungry. Why should you offer food to the one who ate well?
C 3	miti lEni pApa karmiki dAvalegAka hitamerugu puNyuni kEla dhruti heenu grupa joochi tiru vEnkaTEswaruDu tatiigAva kunDina dAnEla ||	Uplift the sinners. Why bother about wise and pious? If Sri Venkatesa is not merciful to the sufferers, who else would show mercy?
