169-Runaanubhandha-Runada Mooteya horisi poorvaarjitada huriya...

English Translation:       You are the donkey that providence controls. It puts the weight of consequences of previous actions on you. It crafts a noose out of a rope made of your old actions. It puts the noose around your neck and tightens it. It dangles a handful of grass in front of you to keep you interested and dance to its tunes.” – Mankutimma –
