Though we be your servants, and yet ask another
for good? Cursed be such a life! What shall
I say to you, O Vitthoba? Under the lucky protection
of the great any fortune good or bad is agreeable;
but we are always afraid of the world. We
should be delighted to die: why then does this
beggar’s condition trouble us? If you protect us,
shall we seek protection from any other? Tuka
says, Don’t you know who is disgraced by this state
of things?
