Tukaram, Poem 1543

Salo and Malo have ruined everything by calling themselves servants of Hari. They have defiled the dish; they called it their own though it is another’s. They spoil the utterances of the saints, by trying to make of them ornaments for themselves. Tuka says, These poets illustrate the way of the world.
