My brother has gained a treasure which countless ages cannot exhaust; at one onslaught he has brought down the whole of Vaikuntha. There is no more coming and going for us, nothing more for us to do; life after life we may sit and feast comfortably. This treasure cannot be counted; it fills the heavens with joy, the whole earth is continually filled with it. Tuka’s brother says, A marvellous treasure of the highest bliss we have found.
O evil age, I fear Thee not, for I love dearly this name. Thou knowest not who it is that strengthens me; it is Narayana, the help of the saints. He slew Shankha in the ocean, and came back with the four Vedas. In the form of the Tortoise, he slew the mighty demon, and hid his hands and feet under his belly. In the form of the great Boar, did He valiantly sustain the earth on his tusk. He tore Hiranyakoshipa and protected Pralhada; He became a Dwarf, and cast the demon Bali down into hell. He lopped off the thousand arms and brought back the cow of wishes. His prowess made stones float on the sea; he slew Ravana and set Bibhishma on the throne. When the enemy began to vex Panchali, Hari made himself into clothes. Tuka says, All who have become one in form with Hari have not returned to birth again.
