ವಿದ್ಯೆಯ ಮಹತ್ವ
ಒಡಲೊಳಗಿರುವದು ವಿದ್ಯೆಯು
ನಡೆದರೆ ತಾಂಬರವಲ್ಲ ಕಳ್ಳರು ಕದಿಯರ್
ಪೊಡವಿಪರು ಕಸಿದು ಕೊಳ್ಳರ್
ವಡಹುಟ್ಟಿದವರು ಪಾಲು ಕೇಳರು ಕೇಳೈ
Meaning: Knowledge is something that belong to you. Strangers cannot snatch it from you. Thieves cannot steal it from you. Siblings cannot ask for a share in it.
Goddess Saraswathi is the god of knowledge and literacy and tomorrow is the day when children keep their books in front of the goddess and pray.
