Tukaram, Poem 1400

Tuka visits all mankind and purifies them from their sins.
They who bear in mind His words will be saved; what is foul in them will lose its power over them.
He inflicts blows with discernment, as a case deserves punishment or favour.
Tuka is turned into the Apparition of the Lion; he feels no fear brought on by compassion.
