Kagga 1 in the original Kannada script

Transliteration

Sri Vishnu vishvadi mula mayaloladeva sarvesha parabommanendu janamAvudanu kanadodamaltiyim nambohudoA vichitrake namiso -- MANKUTIMMA

Interpretation

The concept of God is strange & abstract.

People describe Him or Her -- The Almighty God in many different ways

He is the one who cant be seen; yet people pray to Him, love Him, Fear him

He is the one -- Sri Vishnu who has woven the magic web of this Universe & connects everything inside it

He is The Creator & is Omnipotent

Such is his strangeness that He is everywhere; yet He is nowhere

Mankutimma, Salute to that strangeness; Salute to that Sri Vishnu, the Omnipotent
