Tukaram, Poem 1024

There is one that makes his wife play the part of his mother, and puts himself in the place of his forefathers. Poor wretch, you have spent too much over it!—with all your tricks and perversions. You have wasted your life feeding on pleasure. Tuka says, You knave! God will have no mercy on you; it is a stone that you worship.
