Parula vittamandu Bhranti maninayatti
Purushudavanilona Punya murthy
Parula vitta mariya papasanchita magu
Viswadha abhirama vinura vema.
Telugu Version :
పరుల విత్తమునందు భ్రాంతి మానినయట్టి
పురుషుడవనిలోన పుణ్య మూర్తి,
పరుల విత్త మరియ పాపసంచిత మగు ,
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ
Meaning : We should not be greedy or eye on other's money.A person who earns money through hard work without expecting any easy money is always respected in the society despite the limited wealth he earned. Where as a person who always eyes on other's money and try to amass wealth deceitfully will be ultimately punished .
Story : Once upon a time there was a merchant who was very kind.He used to respect everyone alike.He invited all the villagers for his daughter's wedding. The whole of village attended the wedding. Everyone was relishing the delicious feast.One among the guests ,turned greedy of food around and started filling his bag with all the sweets and savories served to him by asking for more.Once his bag was full he went to wash his hands so that he can leave this place.He kept his bag full of sweets collected greedily ,near a tap to wash his hands.And by the time he returned he was aghast to see one young man was filling the bag with water.Furiously,he shouted at the young boy for filling water in the bag of sweets.The young man who was quite observant of this man's greedy nature said that "Oh I though for three to four sweets that we eat ,we drink so much of water and all the sweets that you have stolen need at least a pot full of water to get digested ,hence I am pouring it"! The man who was sly in collecting extra sweets to sell them out and make money felt ashamed of being noticed by all the other villagers who attended the wedding.Neither he got the sweets nor the respect.Hence we should be honest and behave for ourselves.
