VIVEKA VS VIGNANA

It's for him who makes a 9Bhoopradakshna first 
Starting now, the contestant must be back here first 
To get the entitlement to victory and the fruit 
Prove your mettle to the audience and take the fruit."

As Maheswar ended, Shanmuga on peacock began his round 
But Vinayaka with hands folded started going round 
The pedestal adorned by his parents, the couple divine 
Completing, he took the fruit from his father divine.

Coming back sweating, Shanmuga demanded of his parents 
As how Vinayaka deserved for a mere round the parents 
And started accusing the father for his partiality 
And Mother sitting mute to injustice sans cordiality.

Unable to stand Shanmuga's charges baseless  
10Uma tried to pacify him with appeals helpless 
Unheeding, Shanmuga emptied his rage on audience 
When Narada rose to clarify on behalf of audience.

"Know you Shanmuga, parents are the living gods 
They embody the whole cosmos along with gods 
Going round them means gaing round the worlds and gods 
It's the scriptural truth endorsed by all gods.

Vinayaka's viveka, and you, vignana personified in sooth 
Wisdom is superior to knowledge-an immutable truth 
Mark this, and be contented without any farther ado 
Vinayaka's right and father's is just, honour the credo.


9. going round the world. 
10. another name for Parvati, the wife of Siva.
