Tukaram, Poem 2920

The offspring of a frog cried out Rama, Rama; he suffered not the water to grow hot. A child was writhing in the boiling water; Govind came full speedily to him. He laid his command on the fire: ‘Thou shalt not burn up these young creatures.’ Tuka says, We rejoice to tell these choice tales of His glory.
