Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3681

It is not fit that speech of mine should pollute you, O learned Bramhana! So I humbly entreat you, give me the leavings of your food. Practise you your duties as they are prescribed in the Vedas. It is your duty to give and mine to receive the food you leave, says Tuka.
