Tukaram, Poem 3661

When a guinea-worm attacks the foot, it is bound up with a piece of cloth, the bibva-nut is applied: a low remedy for a low disorder. When a servant loses his temper, does the master go to make peace with him? That is another servant’s business; the low suits the low. When a maid-servant loses her temper, will her mistress go and pacify her? That is another maid’s business; the low suits the low. When a scorpion enters a shrine, we don’t think proper to worship him; a slipper is the thing needed, the low suits the low. Tuka says, People of the same class will eat dust for each other’s sake.
