Tukaram, Poem 3103

The Baudhya incarnation has fallen to my lot;
his mouth has accepted the rule of silence.
For people of former ages he assumed his blue
colour and four-armed shape; but he speaks
in secrecy to the saints of to-day. The Kali age has
fallen to my lot; though I direct my gaze every-
where, you do not meet my eyes. What harm
have I done to You, O Narayana? For whom
have you no pity? says Tuka.
