Tukaram, Poem 1549

I bow to this God; I offer my service in one spot. Good and bad qualities remain distinct; a he-buffalo is always a he-buffalo, a she-buffalo, a she-buffalo. Janardana is present among men; before him I lie prostrate with all my members. Tuka says, I must pick out the stones which would turn to grit when the corn is ground.
