KaLa Beda Kola Beda

Kannada Version:

ಕಳಬೇಡ, ಕೊಲಬೇಡ, ಹುಸಿಯ ನುಡಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ
ಮುನಿಯ ಬೇಡ, ಅನ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಅಸಹ್ಯ ಪಡ ಬೇಡ
ತನ್ನ ಬಣ್ಣಿಸ ಬೇಡ, ಇದಿರ ಹಳಿಯಲು ಬೇಡ
ಇದೇ ಅಂತರಂಗ ಶುಧಿ, ಇದೇ ಬಹಿರಂಗ ಶುಧಿ
ಇದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮ ದೆವರನೊಲಿಸುವ ಪರಿ 

English Transliteration:

Kaḷabēḍa, kolabēḍa, husiya nuḍiyalu bēḍa
muniya bēḍa, an'yarige asahya paḍa bēḍa
tanna baṇṇisa bēḍa, idira haḷiyalu bēḍa
idē antaraṅga śudhi, idē bahiraṅga śudhi
idē nam'ma kūḍalasaṅgama devaranolisuva pari


Explanation: 

Do not steal, do not kill, do not lie
Do not be angry, do not be scornful of others
Do not glorify yourself, do not insult others
These are the means to inward purity, these are the means to outward purity
These are the means to please Kudalasangamadeva
