Tukaram, Poem 253

Before now Thou hast saved many suppliants, therefore they call Thee lord of the helpless. Thou didst not weigh guilt or race or lineage; Thou didst save Azamela and the Bhil woman. Thou didst set the child Dhuru in a firm place; Thou didst offer the sea of milk to Upamanya. When the beast Gajendra was injured by the denizen of the waters, Thou didst rescue Him from the sea of the world. Thou didst save Prahlada in fire and flood, turning poison into nectar by Thy name. When heavy burdens fell on the Pandavas, Thou wast their champion. Tuka says, Thou wast the Lord of these helpless people: I have heard the tale, I am come to Thee.
