daivamu dooraganEla - nAdanAmakriya -

P daivamu dooraganEla tama nErpu nEramintE
eevala tama karmamu lencharu manujulu ||
Why do people blame God for their problems? They don't realise that they are reaping consequences of their evil and pious Karmas of their past.
C 1 mollami gAli yokaTe munchi toorupettu chOTa

nollarairi yasurulu volisiri suralu||
Farmers stand on a scaffolding for winnowing mixture of paddy and chaff. The wind blows away chaff to a distance but heavier grains fall as a heap nearby. Similarly demons distanced themselves from Sri Hari where as Devatas flourished well due to their proximity to Sri Hari. The wind and Sri Hari are impartial.
C 2 minchina jalli yokaTe meedanunDu doDDavella
chanchula sannamulellA sandula gAru
enchaga hari yokaDe yeragaka kondaraitE
konchamai reetini golichi kondaraite ghanulu ||
Bigger grain remains on a sieve but smaller ones go down. Similarly those who are ignorant of Hari suffer but devotees become great. Sieve and Srihari are impartial.
C 3 kOvilala kAkulunu kOri yokkareetinunDu
eevala vasanta vELa nErupaDunu
Sri vEnkaTESwaruni sEvakulu manujula
bhAva mokkareeti nunDu phalamulE vEru ||
Cuckoos and crows look alike. But on the advent of spring season their skills are entirely different. Similarly all the devotees of Venkatesa appear alike but they are blessed according to their devotion.
