God is his name, fair His form, it soothes
the eye and drives away the feverish heat.
Vitthala! Vitthala! To repeat His name is a present
and easy help, a very essence. This weapon is an
arrow fit for extremity, for a critical and final hour.
Why need a man provide himself with funeral
gifts? Narayana destroys pain, if you fix your eyes
on him. The best of all doctrines becomes ours,
for Narayana bestows it on us. Go therefore to
implore his aid, only this is required of you; this
is why I am angry against the world, it is a
poisonous snake gleaming before the eyes. O
generous one, I have forsaken thee through this
enemy; it has made me pass through the cycle of
re-births, it has taught me false desire. I am intoxicated
by wanderings in “I” and “mine.” I have
been robbed and put to shame, have suffered the
penalty of actions, births without number I have
gone through. Now I must cut myself loose.
Tuka casts himself before Thee, O God!
