Tukaram, Poem 1239

Blessed were those cows, blessed were the blanket and stick, the flute, the fife and the armlet that were his true symbols. Blessed was Gokula with the cowherds and all the men and women therein. Blessed were Devaki and Jesavanti; the good fortune of Vasudeva rested on both of them. Blessed were the sixteen thousand young wives of the cowherds; all the race of the Yadavas was blessed. Tuka says, They were blessed from their birth; they enjoyed with full devotion the joys of Krishna’s company.
