Daasohada Sanganna (ದಾಸೋಹ ಸಂಗಣ್ಣ)

All those who see, can they play?
All those who speak, do they know linganga yoga?
All the boys who practice, can they fight in battle field?
All these deceptive yogis of the world putting on the garlands of words,
do they know appropriate linganga yoga?
Just behind the manifest and beyond the un-manifest
see, the most powerful is Maatulanga Madhukeshwara. [Vachana No.1797] ^[1]

Daasohada Sanganna was a devotee of Madhukeshwara of Banavasi. His occupation was to serve food to the sharanas. Thus he got the name of Dasohada Sanganna. Some 102 of his vacahanas been traced with a rather longish signature line Shambuvininditta Swayambhuirnindatta Atibala Nodaa Matulanga Madhukeshwara. Most of his vachanas tell us about the value of daasoha.

Gold born in earth,
gem born in stone,
pearl born in shell,
fragrance born in tree,
all these leave their places of birth
and attain their purpose in other places.
Similarly,
embryo in the egg,
exceeding that egg, and becoming true foetus,
growing in the organs of linga,
mingling with bodiless prasaada that is jangama,
and becoming unified, such a one has no bondage,
no liberation, no karma.
That is a Thing with no body.
Just behind the manifest and beyond the un-manifest
see, the most powerful is Maatulanga Madhukeshwara. [Vachana No.1799] ^[1]
