Glory is endless-that is your drum
Gives what is asked-that is your tabor.
Worshiped by the world and lord of creation-that is your conch
No other god-that is your damaru drum.
Piercing the mouth with trident that says 'Shiva does not haunt'
that is the drum of Balleshwaralinga in three worlds.
[Vachana No.1844]

Do not hurt any creature.
Do not desire others’ wives.
Do not envy the wealth of others.
Do not fall at the feet of other gods.
