Ramakrishna gaaroo, 'gagana dhuni', 'naakadhuni' ayinanta sundaramgaanoo,
bangaaraaniki taavi abbinaTToo undi, mee kandaaniki yati kalavaTam. The
understanding of human greed you described in the poem is just too good.
BTW, unlike you pointed it out in the original post of this poem, in the
drama kanyaaSulkam, it is agnihOtraavadhaanlu who tries to sell his
daughter. Lubdhaavadhaanlu is the old guy (inspite of his miserliness) who
is ready to buy her.
