 13) Yihamunandhubutti Yingithamerugani
     Janula Nenchi Chooda Sthaavaramulu
     Jangamaadhulanuta Jagathini Paapambu.
     Viswadhaabhiraama Vinura Vema!                (Vemana's Telugu Poem)

     Telugu Tathparyam: Janma Yetthinandhuku Jnaanamunu Sampadhimpavalenu.
			Adhi Lenivaaru Sthaavaramulavantivaaru.
			Vaarini Manushyulalo Lekkimparaadhu.


     ENGLISH: One should utilize this life as a human and should be in the
	      pursuit of knowledge.
	      Persons lacking this are like  rocks (immovable objects).
	      They should not be considered as human beings.



 14) Okani Jeruthumanchu Nullamandhenthuru
     Thamakugalugu Chetu Thaamerugaka
     Thammujeruchuvaadu Dhaivambukaadoko.

			Kalugunani Moorkhulerugakunnaru.
			Okarini Cherupadalachina, Daivame Thammu Cherupagaladhu.


     ENGLISH: Fools do not realize that they will hurt themselves
	      if they try to do harm to others.
	      If one tries to do harm to another will in turn get hurt by the
	      almighty.



 15) Aunatanchu Nokkadadina Maataku
     Kaadhatanchu Baluka Kshanamu Pattu.
     Dhaani Niluvadheeya Dhaathalu Dhigivacchu.
     Viswadhaabhiraama Vinura Vema!                   (Vemana's Telugu Poem)

     Telugu Tathparyam: Okadu "aunu" Anudhaanini Mariyokadu "kaadhu" Ani
			Ventane Cheppavacchunu.
			Dhaanini Samardhinchuta Mikkili Kashtamu.


     ENGLISH: One says "yes". Immediately the other person condemns it and
	      says "no".
	      To support either of these is the most difficult task!



 16) Auraa! Yenthavaara Lallari Maanavul
     Prabhuvunaina Geliparathu Renna
     Dhaadheginchuvaadu Dhandiyau Bhuvilona.
     Viswadhaabhiraama Vinura Vema!                   (Vemana's Telugu Poem)

     Telugu Tathparyam: Allari Janulu Lajja Bhayamulu Vidichi Prabhuvune
			Helana Cheyuchunduru.
			Mondiai Theginchinavaade Goppavaadaguchunnaadu.


     ENGLISH: Mischievous individuals don't feel shy and are afraid of nothing.
	      They ridicule the Lord even.  A person who has become a stubborn
	      individual and does not care at all, is successful.


 17) Kasavu Thinunu Gaadhe Pasarambu Leppudu
     Cheppinatlu Vinuchujeyu Banulu
     Vaanisaatiaina Maanavudoppadaa?
     Viswadhaabhiraama Vinura Vema!                   (Vemana's Telugu Poem)

			Vinuchu Panulu Cheyunu.
			Moorkhudatlu Cheyadu.
			Athadu Pasuvukante Heenudu.


     ENGLISH: Animals (cattle) graze, listen to their master, and perform their
	      duties according to the orders.
	      A fool does not do like that.
	      He is inferior to the animals.


 18) Kharamu Paalu Thecchi Kaachi Chakkeraveya
     Bhakshyamagune Yenna Bhrashtudatle
     Yentha Cheppi Chivaranesagina Bosagune?
     Viswadhaabhiraama Vinura Vema!                     (Vemana's Telugu Poem)

     Telugu Tathparyam: Gaadidhepaalu Thecchi Kaachi Chakkeravesinanu,
			Thraagutaku Yogyamu Kaavu.
			Atle Vivekasoonyudu Yentha Cheppinanu Upayogamunaku
			Raadu.


     ENGLISH: Donkey milk is useless and one can not drink it even after boiling
	      and sweetened by mixing with sugar.
	      Similarly, a person devoid of wisdom is useless inspite of
	      being preached.
