Bettada Melondu | ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಮೇಲೊಂದು | Vachana | Akka Mahadevi @RamMiriyalaOfficial #sankranthi #pongal

This Vachana written by Akka Mahadevi; A contemplative devotional verse that uses images of precarious dwellings to reflect the human condition. It teaches that external circumstances—danger, noise, praise, or blame—are unavoidable, especially for a woman moving through the world. True strength lies not in escape or reaction, but in cultivating inner stillness, moral clarity, and emotional balance under the gaze of the divine. Song lyric and translation: Beṭṭadā mēlondu maneya māḍi, Build a home atop the mountain Mrugagaḷige anjidode entayya? Should it tremble at beasts that roam? Samudradā taḍiyalondu maneya māḍi, Raise it by the ocean’s edge Noretereḷige anjidode entayya? Must it fear each crashing wave? Santeyoḷagondu maneya māḍi, Make your dwelling deep in bazaar Shabdakke naachidode entayya? Why flinch at passing noise? Cennamallikārjunadēva kēḷayayya — O Lord Chennamallikarjuna, hear me Lōkadoḷage huṭṭida baḷika A girl born into this wide world Stuti-nindegaḷu bandaḍe Must meet both praise and blame Manadalli kōpava tāḷade Let her not be swayed by anger Samādhāniyāgirabēku But rest in calm resolve.
