 Your will same as other Lingayats there is no discriminations.
 ಆವ ಕುಲವಾದಡೇನು? ಲಿಂಗವಿದ್ದವನೆ ಕುಲಜನು,
 ಕುಲವನರಸುವರೆ ಶರಣರಲ್ಲಿ, ಜಾತಿಸಂಕರನಾದ ಬಳಿಕ?
 ಒಕ್ಕುದಕೊಂಬೆನವರಲ್ಲಿ. ಕೂಸ ಕೊಡುವೆ,
 ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ, ನಂಬುವೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಶರಣನು - ಬಸವಣ್ಣ ಸವಸ
 
 ಕುಲಛಲವ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ನಿಮ್ಮನೊಲಿಸಿದ ಶರಣರಿಗೆ
 ತಲೆವಾಗುವೆ ನಾನು ಕುಲಜರೆಂದು.
 ಬೆಬ್ಬನೆ ಬೆರತು ನಿಮ್ಮನೊಲಿಸಿದ ಶರಣರಿಗೆ
 ತಲೆವಾಗದವನ ತಲೆ ಶೂಲದ ಮೇಲಣ ತಲೆ ಕಾಣಾ!
 ರಾಮನಾಥ. -7/778#
 Translation:
 I bow to those Sharanas
 Regarding them us high-born
 Who pleased you by abandoning their caste?
 O Ramanaatha
 His head is on the gallows
 Who does not bow to the Sharanas?
 That pleased you by mingling freely with all!
