Vemana Satakam - Tappulennuvaru

Tappulennuvaru tandopa tandambu

Urvi janulakella nundu tappu

Tappulennuvaru tama tappulerugaru

Visvadabhirama, Vinura Vema !

or

తప్పులెన్నువారు తండోప తండంబు
లుర్వి జనులకెల్ల నుండు తప్పు
తప్పు లెన్నువారు తమతప్పు లెరుగరు
విశ్వదాభిరామ, వినురవేమ!

English Translation:

There are many that find faults (with others)

Many in the world has faults

The people who count faults, do not know their own faults

Beloved of the Bounteous, Vema, listen!

Meaning:

In this world there are numerous people who search for defects in other people. Each person will have some defect or the other. And those who look for defects in others do not know their own defects.

Instead of developing a negative attitude, advises the poet, it is better to develop positive attitude. It is better to look for the good traits in others than trying to pick holes. An awareness of the noble qualities in others will provide an opportunity for us to acquire some of those noble qualities.
