పద్యం:
మండలపతి సముఖంబున
మెండైన ప్ర్దానిలేక మెలగుట యెల్లన్
గొండంత మదపుటేనుఁగు
తొండము లేకుండినట్లు తోచుట సుమతీ.

తాత్పర్యం:
కొండంత ఏనుగునఁకు తొండము లేనిచో ఎట్లు నిరర్దకమో,అట్లే రాజుయొక్క సముఖమున సమర్దత గల మంత్రి లేనిచో రాజ్యము నిరర్ధకము .
.


Poem:
Mamdalapathi samukhambuna
Memdaina prdhaanileka melaguta yellan
Gomdamtha madhaputenuaogu
Thomdamu lekumdinatlu thochuta sumathi.

Meaning:
Without its trunk, even if an elephant be as huge as a mountain, it is useless. Similarly, a King becomes useless without a competent minister to advice.
