Tukaram, Poem 2274

This is a sport lightly set going, my own mind
is a witness to it; I need not describe it.
Soundless speech is the first to be uttered; it
cannot be caught and trapped. It is the Sun
which annihilates all darkness and yet remains un-
contaminated, while people move by the aid of
His light. Tuka says, Any wondrous powers
of mine are gone; they will never return to show
their face again.
