When a life-span ends, there is death
Lakshmamma · 12th century · from the Kannada original
Original
ಆಯುಷ್ಯತೀರಲು ಮರಣ;ವ್ರತ ತಪ್ಪಲು ಶರೀರ ಕಡೆ.ಮೇಲುವ್ರತವೆಂಬ ತೂತರಮೆಚ್ಚನಮ್ಮ ಅಗಜೇಶ್ವರಲಿಂಗವು.
Translation
When a life-span ends, there is deathWhen a vow is broken, there is body’s decayAll who make noises about their higher virtuesThis will not please Agajeshwarlinga
