FEED IS THE NEED SUPREME

No Krishna no, I emptied whole treasure to the needy round the year
Never did I build choultries for it, nor hold ¹³samaradhanas any day of year 
When ¹⁴Dharmaja and¹⁵Rajaraja were doing it ardently, I never attention Everything asked was given, nor people came for food even by pretension.

Would you recall any ¹⁶annarthi sent to choultries, when sought thy presence 
Have you at least showed the spot of feeding when it would commence ?

Why not? though I personally offered not, I always pointed that spot
My right finger never tired of showing to the arthis that sacred spot

If so dear, put that finger into thy mouth and lick it like a child
Then tell me what you feel and your bowls react to that act of child

Pspoooch, pspoooch... were heard sooner than said Karna elated robustly Began dancing like a babe with pepooochs echoing entire mansion modestly.

When the belly became full, he started reeling like one under intoxication Putting to bed, Krishna left satisfied showing anna dana's demonstration.
