Go on deferring to wife and children, and humbling myself before objects of sense. Run now and deliver me, O Narayana, I cannot govern my desires! Stand Thou between me and shame of the multitude; for I see that this dispels Your worship. Tuka says, Wherever You find us entangled, O God, you must protect us.
