Tukaram, Poem 2410

Listen, all you that have entered the market of life: store up no goods that will bring a loss on you. Consider, all of you, that it is a time to make profit; take the help of those who know how to choose. When a thing is decorated, you cannot tell what it is like inside; when a cloth is tied up you cannot easily open it. It is a mistake, says Tuka, to tie yourself down by paying an earnest; you should take over from hand to hand genuine articles.
