Where shall I find food? Whom shall I go to? Under whose protection shall I stay in this town? The headman here has consulted the town’s people; who will give me a morsel now? The people say, he has lost all sense of decency; they drag me before the Court. Respectable people have brought the matter before the headman; I am a feeble creature; they have ruined me. Tuka says, Their company is not good for me; I shall go now to seek Vitthoba.
