I am inviting knowledge and sending away Maya
I am inviting knowledge and sending away ignorance
I am inviting the unmanifest and sending away the manifest
I am inviting non-worldliness and sending away worldliness
I am letting in those who know Koodalasangamadeevaralli Basavanna
and stopping at the door the others who do not know
[Vachana No.1528] [1]

Uggadisuva Gubbidevayya was a gate-keeper at Basavanna’s Mahaamane. His 10 vachanas which bear the signature Koodalasangamadevaralli Basavanna saakshiyagi are available. He has used terms related to door keeping in his vachanas which contain a sense of humour and speak of the principle of kaayaka and devotion to Basavanna.

Those who have illusion in their feelings do not come.
Those who have know knowledge go away, quick.
Those who fight for three kinds of impurities, stay where you are.
Who always experience the self, please do come.
Parabrahmasvaroopas, please do come.
Those who are fithfuI to one linga, and firm of mind, do come.
Those who travel on the path of goodness
And those who have engaged in good actions please do come.
Koodalasangamadeevaralli Basavanna has given me this kaayaka.
[Vachana No.1529] [1]
