110-Himagiriya kandange krimiya hirimeyadenu...

1. English Translation:           If a person has seen the snow capped mountains, what greatness will he see in a mere bacteria? The bacteria though, has life, hunger and urge to go places in search of food. It has (the cumulative intelligence of) infinite lineage of bacteria that came before it; perhaps the as old as the mighty mountains. Is this legacy of bacteria any smaller than that of the mountain? - Mankutimma.
