Tukaram, Poem 1424

When slips of paper wrap up sugar, a king will turn to look at them. So it is with our human nature: the name of Rama is the merchandise wrapped up in it. A king will grasp a hilt of wood when there is a Feringhi sword fastened to it. When jewels are set in lac, wealthy people place it on their necks. The wooden base of the image is set in the shrine for all men to see. Tuka, because of his close union with Brahma, is held dear by all good men.
