Tukaram, Poem 3509

Be something, brother! Be it much or little.
Here, in this very market, examine your
purchase and tie it up in your bundle. Spend your
money while there are still goods before you;
afterwards, you will have to put up with imitations.
The shop is open now; when night has fallen, who
will let you in? Tuka says, In the last hour, your
jaws will be fast closed.
