Did Kuvempu Really Say It?



Here is a line that is being attributed to Kuvempu.
ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೊಲ್ಲುವ ಮುನ್ನ ನನ್ನ ಕೊಲ್ಲು
If I remember correctly he has said something on the lines:
ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕೈ ಎತ್ತು ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈ ಕಲ್ಪವೃಕ್ಷವಾಗುವುದು
Damn, I could not find any information regarding this on the net. In case you know about it, can you please enlighten me?

He was probably referring to the way Kannada is used these days.
