Ekkuva kulajudaina

From Sahityam

[edit] Pallavi

ekkuva kulajuDaina hIna kulajuDaina |
nikkamerigina mahAnityuDE ghanuDu ||

Whether born of a higher caste or lower,
he who understands the Truth is alone a great person.

Than a Somayajin, who is learned in the Vedas
but desists from and does not honour devotion to Hari,
an illiterate low-caste man who worships
Vishnu's feet is greater.
