The praise of men and the sale of preachings—forbid me this, O generous one! The women and wealth of other men—let them not possess my mind! Envy and censure of the saints—forbid me this, O generous one! Let no pride in myself possess me: keep far from me every single thing that might awaken it. Tuka says, Let me seldom forget Thy feet!
Hinduism
