Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1547

Call clay perfume, and sell it when you find it saleable. But this is a place where things are tested; true faith can tell the real from the spurious. A woman who seeks to feign pregnancy stuffs herself with rags. Tuka knows what class a thing belongs to, whether it is solid or coated over.
