Tukaram, Poem 1836

The Saints have exalted me in this world and the world beyond; to-day my desires shall be blest with full satisfaction.
All the merit of my past lives has come to help me; the sight of the saints is a complete omen of good.
I have attained my desires, says Tuka, ignorant as I am still I see with my eyes the fruit of my service.
