II Poem : Sometimes Success lies in Yielding !!

Anuvuganichota Adhikulamanradu
Konchamundutella Koduva kadu
Konda addamandu Konchamai Undada
Viswadhabhirama Vinura vema.

Telugu Version :
అనువు కాని చోట అధికులమనరాదు 
కొంచెముండుటెల్ల కొదువకాదు 
కొండ అద్దమందు కొంచమై ఉండదా 
విశ్వధా భిరామా  వినురవేమ. 

Meaning :  Sometimes Success lies in Yielding.Despite one's wealth, power or intellect one must maintain a low profile during adverse situations.The huge mountain too looks small in a mirror yet it doesn't lose its identity and size.
Ex: Lord Krishna who lifted the Govardhana mountain with his little finger to save his people ran away while being chased by Yamana, the demon King to make him pay the penance.

Story : Kalayamana was a cruel demon who conquered all kingdoms and with vanity and pride proclaimed himself as the king of the whole World. Apart from being proud, he started killing People and torturing everyone. None were happy yet helplessly waiting for God to save them.
Once Narada visited Yamana and heckled at him and Instigated that though he conquered the whole world,he couldn't touch Krishna as Krishna is more powerful than Yamana.On hearing this KalaYamana turned very furious and decided to wage a war against Lord Krishna.Lord Krishna created a new Dwaraka and shifted all his people to that safe place and faced Yamana all alone.When Yamana stood in front of him Krishna started running relentlessly ignoring the hecklings and jibes of Yamana. Finally, Krishna led him to a Cave where Muchikunda the son of Mandhata from the Ikshwaku clan was meditating.Yamana mistook Muchikunda as Krishna and hit him with his leg saying 'You coward! why are you avoiding me and running away from me when you are called as Lord and supremo"Muchikunda opened his eyes and with his powerful eyes he turned KalaYamana into ashes. Lord Krishna pretended to be a coward to teach Yamana a lesson and thus achieved success in dispelling pride and ignorance of Yamana and saving the world from his cruelty.
