Eduu kanna dunna Elagu takkuva
Vivara merigi chudu Vritthi yandu
Nerpu leni vani Nera Yodhu dandura ?
Viswadha Abhirama Vinura Vema.
Telugu Version :
ఎద్దు కన్న దున్న ఎలాగు తక్కువ ,
వివర మెరిగి చూడు వ్రిత్తి యందు ,
నెరుపు లేని వాని నేర యోధు దండురా ,
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ
Meaning : Though Ox and Bull have similar physical strength, Bull is used for cultivating as well as for a few domestic works as he is considered more receptive to instructions and skillful in conducting the tasks effectively than the Ox. Similarly even among human beings people with more receptive skills and professional efficiency are considered to be more popular than the person who looks physically strong.
Story : Ravana the demon king of Lanka had two brothers,one is Vibhishana who looked physically meek yet intellectually and morally strong whereas Kumbhakarna was a huge and gigantic person who was very strong and powerful. He always used to do two things prominently one is to hog and gorge the food and then sleep . Irrespective of his physical strength he never was involved in the regular administrative tasks like his brother Vibhishana. Vibhishana,though not so strong physically was very effective in advising his brother in day to day administration of the kingdom. Thus one can be popular through knowledge not through physical strength.
