Abhanga 2693Devotion to Vitthal

English Translation · I.P. 2693

CHOULD a jewel fall into the jaws of an *^ alligator, a man of courage can pluck it forth with his hand ; but the mind of a fool cannot be persuaded to the right path. The milk of a tortoise may feed an army. If you wander over the whole world you may perhaps find a hare with horrts. If you rub sand very carefully you may perhaps extract divine oil from it. A hooded cobra provoked to fury you may perhaps hold in your hand like a flower. Lo! By the joy of Brahma, Tuka the greatest of sinners was saved. U«- l)is own aisqutlifications
