ಅಕ್ಕಿಯೊಳಗನ್ನವನು ಮೊದಲಾರು ಕಂಡವರು । ಅಕ್ಕರದ ಬರಹಕ್ಕೆ ಮೊದಲಿಗನದಾರು ।|
ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿರಿಸಿಲ್ಲ ಜಗ ತನ್ನಾಧಿಬಂಧುಗಳ । ದಕ್ಕುವುದೆ ಜಸ ನಿನಗೆ ? – ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ।।
– D V Gundappa
This beautiful “kagga” from Shri D V Gundappa is one of the poems from his widely acclaimed book – “Mankutimmana Kagga”
Who discovered food in grains of rice?
Who discovered the power of script?
The world has not kept track of the those great men,
Why do you think you deserve to be recognized?
