saptaksharee mantra

Long ago, poets/story writers/teachers never had the fancy income of the likes of jeofrey archer, chetan bhagat, amish tripathi, j k rowling etc.  one of the oldest poets of kannada, kavi muddana once told his wife that the saptaksharee mantra which guides the life of a poet is ‘bhavati bhikshandehi’. 

Similarly, I have a saptaksharee mantra for ever complaining wives; in kannada it is ‘mane bit tolagu’ which has seven kannada letters (rough translation in English ‘get lost’ also has only seven alphabets!).

Hope all likeminded appreciate this.
