Tukaram, Poem 1452

The saints have accepted and take pride in me.
Whatever I place at their feet they count it
enough and accept it. Tuka takes the water wherein
their feet have been washed, he takes it and stands
aloof. Though he has no merit in store, suddenly
God comes to meet him; Tuka has now a lord to
protect him.
