Tukaram, Poem 3073

By time to come thou shouldst serve up new dishes to us; one by itself is not tasty enough. When a woman puts on a new ornament, her body is commended; one change should follow another visibly and quickly. When service makes the servant look more handsome, the master’s fame is spread in the three worlds. Tuka says, Fill me with joy to-day; I will sound Thy praises and dance before thee.
