If we trust to time, why, death is close upon us; if you do not fulfil our wishes, how can we call ourselves your servants? Depart not from thy love, O Panduranga. If you are bound to give, why does this delay hinder you? What is sweet is sweet from beginning to end. Tuka says, I shall sing of that which I contemplate.
