P	mahinudyOgi gAvale manujuDainavADu sahajivale nunDEmee sAdhimpalEDu ||	A true human being should strive diligently in pursuit of great ambitions. If one remains dull he can not achieve any thing.
C 1	vedaki talachukonTE vishNuDu gAnavachchunu chedari marachitE srushTi cheekaTau podali naDichitEnu bhoomella meTTi rAvachchu nidirinchitE kAlamu nimishamai tOchu ||	If one strives with dedication , he may be fortunate to have Vishnu Darsana. If one is wavering and forgets the Lord , the whole world appears dark to him. A person who walks with utmost passion can even circamambulate the earth. If he sleeps lazily any length of time passes away like a minute.
C 2	vEDukatO jadivitE vEdaSAstra sampannuDau jaDatO noorakunDitE jaDuDaunu ODaka tApasiyaitE unnatOnnatuDau kooDaka sOmariyaitE guNaheenuDaunu ||	One can become a great scholar in Vedas if he studies them seriously. If he is lazy he would become a stupid. One who strives unflinchingly would become eminent. If he is indolent, he would be worthless being.
C 3	muraharu golichitE mOkshamu sAdhinchavachchu veraveragakunDitE veeriDi yaunu SaraNanTE Sri vEnkaTESvaruDu rakshinchunu paraga samSayinchitE pAshAnDuDaunu ||	One who worships Murahari well can attain salvation. One who is indolent becomes a stupid. Lord Venkateswara protects those who surrender to him. One who remains doubting becomes a heretic or non-believer.
