Tukaram, Poem 1902

Thou shouldst not be injured by any harsh words of mine, there is an old bond between us. Thou art my father, O Panduranga! I have travelled far from Thee, but the pledge I left with Thee once is mine. Through some burden placed on my head the memory in my heart slumbered. Yet my way was known to the four saints: I brought witnesses and the matter was adjudicated.
