Tukaram, Poem 1119

They, who eat and take betel on the eleventh day, enjoy as it were the excrement of dogs; such an one is the vilest of all men. There is no ordinance supreme like this; they who observe it duly, who sing and listen to the praises of Hari, they become like Vishnu himself. He, who eats betel on that day, eats an unclean thing; he shall fall into the power of destruction, he shall find no escape. He who dallies in bed with a mistress shall contract wasting illness, life-long and violent. He who attends not the service of Hari’s praise and keeps others from going, know that Meru is a mole-hill compared to his guilt. Tuka says, They fall into Yama’s power, and he torments those who heed not the eleventh day.
