A chaste wife knows nothing about praises of other men; her mind and her thoughts are wholly fixed on her husband. Even so my mind is set on one object; I care for none but Vitthala. The lotus that blooms in the sun opens not itself to the moon beams, the cuckoo sings only in the spring; Tuka says, An infant dances before his mother; the speeches of others give him no pleasure.
