Tukaram, Poem 3670

To save and protect faith Thou dost manifest thyself; Thou art a shield to thy worshippers. For the sake of Ambarishi Thou didst endure birth; how many of the wicked Thou didst destroy—for him! Blessed are they who call Thee “Sea of Mercy!” Now make Thine own words true. Tuka says, The Puranas declare that Narayana is a sea of mercy.
