Tukaram, Poem 613

How many are the sources of honour and dis-
honour,—these are the least of your boons.
Go and tempt other poor creatures who can find any
taste of sweetness in them. Though you should
offer us the height of prosperity, we are not greedy
of it like others. Tuka says, You are a cheat; this
is how you have ruined people.
