Tukaram, Poem 1831

How can I tell thy generous deeds? My stock of merit thou hast preserved with care and brought and given it me all at once.
My faults thou did not weigh against it; this God was moved by strong compassion. I knew Him not, I had never heard of Him; he bestowed on me a gift unsought.
Tuka says, I have nothing to repay His kindness with.
