పద్యం:
చేతులకు తొడవు దానము
భూతలనాథులకుఁదొడవు బొంకమి,ఠఃఅరలో,
నీతియే తొడ వెవారికి.
నాతికి మానంబు తొడవు,నయముగ సుమతీ.

తాత్పర్యం:
చేతులకు దానమును,రాజుల కబద్ధమాడకుండుటయును,ధరణిలో నెవ్వరికయినని న్యాయమును,స్త్రీకి పాతివ్రత్యమును అలంకారము.
.


Poem:
Chethulaku thodavu dhaanamu
Bhoothalanaathulakuaodhodavu bomkami,tharalo,
Nithiye thoda vevaariki.
Naathiki maanambu thodavu,nayamuga sumathi.

Meaning:
(The poet opines that) the real adornment for the hands is openhandedness (generosity), for the king – his honesty, for anyone – justice, and for a woman – her dutifulness towards her husband.
