Tukaram, Poem 616

A father protects his child; he shows him his own stored up wealth and all his possessions; even so I have been protected, I have not seen any evil standing in my path. Close to the hungry child is the breast; our anxious thoughts are not far from their remedy. Tuka stands entreating on the bank; his mother Panduranga leaps over the stream.
