राम
Abhanga 2659Devotion to Vitthal

English Translation · I.P. 2659

THAVE no use for thee now, O Shame ! get hence, let me remember Rama. Through yielding to thee I ruined myself ; I made myself the slave of this evil world. You made my mother's house strange to me ; you decked yourself out and actually led me astray. To gain pleasure I carried a wife on my shoulder; she brought a host of children upon me. I was taken before the four judges and the five ; I was not suffered ta entertain pure aspirations. Tuka says, Now I will drag thee across thorns ; I have made God my champion.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1915, Vol. III)
