Abandon these desires, these wicked cravings,
O mind; the intellect is the one idle source
of delight in man. In thee I find peculiar bliss;
therefore I embrace thy feet in love. Thus with
complete faith I have come as a suppliant to Thee;
for bodily pain made me greatly afraid. There is
no other saviour, though the thirty-three crores
of gods should guide me. Mankind desire the
grandeur of wealth; but it were best for us to find
thee. I have abandoned all, says Tuka; I entreat
thee, O Vitthala, my head laid up at Thy feet.
