Tukaram, Poem 2924

However badly a child speaks, his mother loves to hear him; it is sweet to her because of the love she bears her child, and for the same reason she satisfies his childish longings. He nestles in her bosom, and she bears willingly the thrusts he gives her. Tuka prays to Panduranga; his case is like the child's.
