This was the poem compiled as a way of wishing my family on the occasion of their shifting to a new house. The beauty is the impressive use of rhythmic words (praasa), without compromising precision of portrayal. It's a situational poem. Perhaps, a little explanation of the circumstances is necessary for the outsiders to enjoy the rich meaning. The explanation is given at the end.
నూతన గృహమున చేరిన శుభదిన విశేష ఫలమున,
చేతన నిండెను జనగణమందరి జీవన మందున!యాతన మరువగ నాయన మనమున కూరును స్వాంతన,
కోతిని తెమ్మన తెచ్చెడి ఘనులగు తనయుల చెంతన!వేతన మెదుగును గగనము దూసిన పతాక రీతిన,
భ్రాతల పనితనమొప్పగ దినదిన ప్రవర్ధగతిన!మాతనువలె అత్తను గను సనాతన చింతన - ఎద
లోతున పాతిన వదినకు జననితో చక్కని పొంతన!ప్రీతిన చన పరివారము అనుదినమొకరికై ఒకరన, శాంతిని-
కేతన మాయెను మన ఈ మమతల ప్రాంగణ!కైతన అంతట నిండగ నిజ జన సుఖ అభిలాషణ,
రాతన సుమధుర భాషణ పలికెనీ అభినవ పోతన !!
The first stanza refers to the enthusiastic joy of moving to a new place. My brother's marriage having been successfully celebrated recently, my father is a happy man & letting his hair down, with peaceful mind. He has now nothing to worry, as his accomplished, worthy sons are at his service. It's wished that both my brothers who have gained foothold in their careers would further excel, bringing prosperity. Vadina(sister-in-law), who has been a new member into the family, also hailed from a house of traditional values and so is hoped to strike a good rapport with my mom. With all the members of the family living amicably with mutual affection, our house would become a temple of peace.
In the closing stanza, the author calls himself "modern Pothana" who compiled this sweet-worded poem replete with good wishes for his family.
