ఆఁకొన్న కూడె యమృతము – సుమతి

Akonna kude yamrutamu
takondaka niccuvade data dharitrin
sokorcuvade manujudu
tekuva galavade vamsa tilakudu Sumati!

akonna=to be hungry; taku=annoyance; soku=difficulty; tekuva=courage.

Sumati, in this world the food eaten when hungry is nectar, the man who gives without annoyance is a real donor, the person who can put up with difficulties is a man, and the one with courage alone brings fame to the family.
A hungry man will not care much for the taste of food. Donating without irritation is noble charity. Adversity tests a person’s character. A courageous man will bring glory to a family
