Linga being the plant

Vokkaliga Muddanna followed agriculture (farmer). He belonged to a village called Joladahala in Karnataka. Jangama - daasoha was his daily activity. He refuses to pay additional tax demanded by the king and uses the amount for the purpose of daasoha. His 12 vachanas use the signature phrase Kaamabhima Jeevadhanadodeya

To read the Vedas and scriptures, not a Brahmin;
To pierce and kill and flaunt, not a soldier;
To indulge in trade, not a merchant;
Not considering the faults of this sowing peasant
Accept me, Kaamabhima Jivadhanadodeya
[Vachana No.1613] [1]
