Fail not in thy duty, O Lord of Rakhumai;
It is appointed to us to sin; it is Thine to save the fallen. Our part we have carefully performed; Thy share must be done as it will. Tuka says, O prince of the wise, why shouldst Thou overthrow the established order?
When I confine it, it grows more lively;
it rushes to occupy any spot it fancies;
what can I do with this mind of mine? Why
does it forget the Lord of Pandhari? Every
moment its thoughts revert to the world; it runs
after pleasure whenever it sees it. It is very quick
and nimble; it takes not a moment to come and
go; how can I control it asleep and awake? Take
me under Thy control, O Lord of Pandhari, says
Tuka.
