My faith, my lord and master taught me the way; He taught me a spell well pleasing and simple, that severed all the bonds of the world. There are saints still moving on, there are others that have crossed the sea of the world; wise and foolish alike, He has provided them with vessels well pleasing to them—gourds, rafts and floats. Tuka says, Panduranga has shown me a vessel, for He is a sea of mercy.
