Part of earth becoming body

part of fire becoming hunger
part of air becoming life soul
part of sky becoming the brahma randhraso
long as these five qualities persist
there is no escape from winning and losing.
Please make them stay where they are
and free me from their flirting.
Please do not think of me as bad.
I have not touched them, you have made me touch
O Dasareshwaralinga.
[Vachana No.1795]
[1]
Dasarayya was born at Ramagonde and he was contemporary of Basavanna. Veeramma was his wife. Gathering flowers for worship was his occupation. Once when he was plucking flowers he heard a scream ‘Alas! I am hurt!’ and from that any onwards he stopped plucking flowers and started collecting the ones already fallen on the ground. 10 of his vachanas under the signature Dasareshwaralinga have been traced. All these vachanas extol the virtues of nonviolence.
