Tukaram, Poem 3480

When a mother-cow eats her fill in a pasture, the calf in her womb expects no call to feed. Even so, when we honour the Vaishnavas, the god within them is contented. A father delights in the triumphs of his son. Tuka says, When nectar is placed before us, all hunger, all maladies vanish.
