Tukaram, Poem 1203

He presents the buttermilk to his pupils; he
declares that the butter is Narayana, and
therefore he swallows it. Such philosophers are
as stupid as buffaloes, ruined by their desires;
they preach purity to the world, but are no more
holy themselves than Mangs. Victims to their
lust and love of chatter, Tuka says, They are slaves
of loquacity and lust; they wear an outer garb of
ostentation.
