Tukaram, Poem 1924

Though there be no giving and taking
between us, Thou hast tied us to Thee by the
pride we feel in thee. Now, O Panduranga, why
wilt thou not let all this affair be settled! To go
before the Court of five, to be put to shame for a
trifle, is not for us, O Panduranga; we are not
like thee. We will give up the dispute, lest thou
find us full of complaints. Tuka says, Let us go
before the saints to settle this.
