Passing space seprated variables in awk

Hi,

How to pass space seprated variables in awk. (HP-UX, sh shell)

I have the problem like below:

Code:
var="Hello"
var2="Manu Batham"
echo $var2 | awk -v variable=${var} '{ printf "%s %s", variable, $1}'

and its output is:
Hello Manu

while output should be:
Hello Manu Batham

Please help me to accept it spaces as well.

Thanks,
Manu
