Tukaram, Poem 3106

Tell us what sin we have committed from
which there is no escape. A deer and a fox
received places in Vaikuntha; what right had they
to this? He who assailed the elephant in the pond
—Hari asked him not if he was fit to be saved.
Tuka says, Ganika was vile; yet my troubles
are greater than hers.
