The Mankutimma Kannada quotation by Sadananda Gowda in the Railway Budget

ಸಂದೇಹವೀ ಕೃತಿಯೊಳಿನ್ನಿಲ್ಲವೆಂದಲ್ಲ ।
ಇಂದು ನಂಬಿಹುದೆ ಮುಂದೆಂದುಮೆಂದಲ್ಲ ॥
ಕುಂದು ತೋರ್ದಂದದನು ತಿದ್ದಿಕೊಳೆ ಮನಸುಂಟು । 
ಇಂದಿಗೀ ಮತವುಚಿತ – ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ

sandeehavii kritiyoLinnillavendalla
indu nambihude mundendum endalla
kundu toordandadanu tiddikooLe manasunTu
indigii matavuchita - Mankutimma


संदेहवी कृतियोळ इन्निल्लवेंदल्ल
इंदु नम्बिहुदे मुंदेंदुम एंदल्ल
कुंदु तोर्दंदु तिद्दिकोळे मनसुंटु
इंदिगी मतवुचितअ - मंकुतिम्मअ

“It is not that after reading this book, there will be no more doubts.
It is not that what we believe today will hold up forever.
If someone points at some shortcoming,
I have an open mind to correct.
But for now, I believe this is right.”

– Mankutimma
