Tukaram, Poem 142

Vitthala, that standest on the Bhima’s
bank, Thou hast wearied thyself for thy wor-
shippers, with many a care and many a visit to the
earth. Thou art gentle to us, but destructive to
the demons. Thou wast reclined amid the sea of
milk, when the Earth was infested with demons;
therefore Thou didst appear in the cowherd’s house;
Pundalika stayed thee at Pandhari. Tuka says,
Thou canst be gained by faith.
