Tukaram, Poem 2614

Here is no Jakhai or Jotihai, no Mayarani,
or Mesabhai; powerful is my king of
Pandhari, he is God above all these gods. Bandi,
Chandi, Shakti, they devour flesh and strong
drink; Bahirava and Khanderava, they love bread
and meat. Ganoba of appalling form, he is
gluttonous after cakes and sweetmeats; Munzya
and Mhaisoba—who would care to reckon up these
godlings? Vetala and Phetala—let their black faces
be burned! Tuka says, Fix your thought
on the husband of Bakhumai.
