Tukaram, Poem 2906

He who dwells beyond the six scriptures, Shri Hari, the Self Supreme, he plays in the house of Dasaratha, as Rama. The peculiar object of Shiva’s contemplation, the secret of Valmiki, Shri Rama, he eats the Bhil woman’s fruit. He who dwells beyond the Yogis’ contemplation, he whispers in the monkeys’ ears. He who tarries not a moment for the salutations of the chief of beings, he exchanges salutations with monkeys and bears. Tuka bows at the feet of Rama, the dark-hued, the embodied, the lotus-eyed.
