Jealousy ...

ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಯೊಂದರ ರಗಳೆ ಸಾಲದೆಂದೇನೊ ವಿಧಿ
ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಕಿಚ್ಚಿನ ಕಿಡಿಯ ನೆಟ್ಟಿಹನು ನರನೊಳ್
ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ತುಂಬಿದ ತೋಳ ಮಲಗೀತುಃ ನೀಂ ಪೆರರ
ದಿಟ್ಟಿಸುತ ಕರಬುವೆಯೊ ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ

Another gem! As if hunger is not enough, man is inflicted with the disease of jealousy (what is referred to as a burning in the stomach) at others' success. Even the most ferocious of beasts sleep when they are full, but you (man) whine at others oh idiot.

Here, DVG refers jealousy as a spark that renders people sleepless. There are several hungers; hunger for comforts, hunger for honor, hunger for touch and so on, which all dangle on the the ire of jealousy. If we can satisfy jealousy, we could satisfy every other hunger. A wolf here probably refers to the other forms of hunger, which can all rest but this hunger of greed and jealousy takes away sleep.

ನೋಡಿ, ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಮತ್ತು ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಕಿಚ್ಚನ್ನ ಎಷ್ಟು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಜೊತೆಗೆ, ಸುಂದರವಾಗಿ ತೂಗ್ತಾರೆ! "ನೆಟ್ಟಿಹನು ನರನೋಳ್" ಅದರ ಸೊಗಸು ನೋಡಿ, it is deep rooted in the human nature ಅಂತ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊ ಬಹುದು ಅಲ್ವ? Man fights for 4 basic things "eating, mating, sleeping, and defending", from which all the other complex needs arise. Eating and Mating are associated with growth and development, Sleeping and Defending are associated with Peace, Prosperity, and Security. Anyway. Physical hunger in the belly is satisfied easily if some food given at the right time. But, the fire in the belly (jealousy) grows like forest fire which needs to be watered and kept cool.
