Telugu Padyam of the Day

25th September 2009

Talliyunnappude tanadugarabamu ,
amepova tananu arayarevaru ,
mancikalamapude mariyada narjimpu ,
visvadabhirama vinura Vema !

Meaning : -

A child gets pampered when the mother is alive. No one cares for the child when

the mother is gone. When the time is in one’s favor , one earns respect.

Vemana’s saying here is similar to “make hay while the sun shines”. In the

contemporary society , many of the problems children face are due to mothers'

neglecting them. This poem also indicates the place given to mother in a child’s life.
