Tukaram, Poem 2388

Sandal is sandal because it has the attributes thereof; by nature it is endowed with peculiar qualities. Lucky are trees that are penetrated by its odour; their fortunes are favourable to them. The magic stone has its own properties; they pervade it throughout. What concern need it feel, says Tuka, the very make of it is excellent.
