Take me by the arm, and lead me beyond the world. Thou art the chief jewel of the wise, a very mine of all attributes. Thou art the crest-jewel of all men, O blessed Vitthoba! Make Thyself a shining lamp, and banish our darkness. Rend the net desire, and take up Thy dwelling in my heart. See how I am ensnared in my ignorance; pray, take Thou thought for me! O Infinite One, Tuka lays his head on Thy feet.
