Tukaram, Poem 342

Keep off the forest fires! Your field is devoured by sparrows,—don’t put up with such damage; stay awake, though you feel sleepy! If you keep company with thieves, you will lose everything. If you shut your eyes, you will fall into a well, be it night time, day time or lamp light. If you keep a barren cow, how will you get milk or cream from her? If your float is burst, Tuka, how will it carry you over the stream?
