Tukaram, Poem 3352 a

“Our childhood lasted twelve years; that was wasted in ignorance; thus our life passed vainly away; we served not the Lord of Pandhari. There were left eighty-eight years, thirty of which were spent in lustful desires. Thus fifty-eight were left; of these, thirty were spent in fond affection. Thus twenty-eight were left, wherein we forgot body and home. Tuka says, This is clear account; our worldly life is but a span.
