Tukaram, Poem 1238

He chased away Kali and emerged; they point him out far away from them. While they thought him a stranger, they could not recognize him; they doubted whether it were he or not. There was a change in his aspect; dark as he was, he appeared bright. Tuka pats the cowherds on the back and confesses, “Truly he is God.”
