XXVIII: Poem : Knowledge is hidden in a wise man !

XXVIII: Poem :

Gajukuppelona Kadalaka Deepambu

Ettulundu Gnanambu lattulundu

Telisinavari Dehambulanduna

Viswadha Abhirama Vinura Vema.
 
Telugu Version :


గాజుకుప్పెలోన కదలక దీపంబు 
ఎట్టులుండు  జ్ఞానంబు  లట్టులుండు .  
తెలిసినవారి దేహంబులందున 
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ 

Meaning: Knowledge is preserved and hidden in a wise person as the flame in the lamp is protected by the Glass doom. Wisdom is always protected and embedded in a wise person even if he doesn't showcase it outwardly. None can steal the wisdom and knowledge from a wise person.Knowledge is the only quality that can be multiplied with sharing, Neither the King nor the thief can steal it away from anyone.

Story : Prahlada the staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu was an embodiment of knowledge as he learned all the skills from his gurus and the devotion for Lord Vishnu in itself is wisdom that was innate in him.His father Hiiranyakashyapa had tried his level best to distract him from the power of devotion yet he failed in grabbing the knowledge and devotional power of Prahalada towards Lord Vishnu. Despite many attempts Hiranyakashyapa Prahlada continued chanting the name of Vishnu again and without getting deviated from the external forces in punishing him.
