Tukaram, Poem 2580

She is a born whore, what does she care about her pedigree? She cares for neither her own house nor her father’s house; she is licentious heart and soul. As she lies on her husband’s bed, she thinks of another. A woman of good lineage, says TukS, would eat the dust to keep her family unspotted.
