Aacharavilladha naalige – Kambhoji
A very nice composition by Purandaradasa….here…he talks about how the tongue must be under contol..
This was a poem that we had in school..

Aacharavilladha naalige
Ninna neecha budhiya bidu naalige
O badly behaved tongue,
leave behind your low level of thinking
Vicharavilladhe para dhooshisuvudharke
Chachikondiruvantha naalige
Stop peeping out and condemning other people
Without any reason
Chaadi helalu beda naalige
Ninna bedikombuvenu maalige
Roodigodeya shri raamana naamava
Paduthaliru ganya naalige
Stop complaining about others O tongue
I plead you to do so
Get used to taking Lord Rama’s name
Always and repeat it for ever O tongue.
