I am one of those who are trying to make computers capable of "seeing". I also often engage myself with spirituality (mostly Indian branches). Otherwise, I like reading classic literature, hiking, playing football and watching cricket, nice movies and music, and above all, good (vegie)food.

ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮನ ಕಗ್ಗ

೧: ಶ್ರೀ ವಿಷ್ಣು ವಿಶ್ವಾದಿ ಮೂಲ ಮಾಯಾ ಲೋಲ |
ದೇವ ಸರ್ವೇಶ ಪರಬೊಮ್ಮನೆಂದು ಜನಂ ||
ಆವುದನು ಕಾಣದೊಡಮಳ್ತಿಯಿಂ ನಂಬಿಹುದೊ |
ಆ ವಿಚಿತ್ರಕೆ ನಮಿಸೊ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

1: God, the origin/creator of the universe, lord over everything, etc are the names given to that unknown entity by the people. Oh Mankutimma! Salute that strange entity.

Notes:
(This is the invocation stanza)

Can you pls give some introduction to this literature and this poet in a post. So that we, non-Kannada speakers will try to appreciate the poem more.

This should give you a reasonably good intro.
