Abhanga 789Devotion to Vitthal

Life under the Influence of Religion

English Translation · I.P. 789

WHATEVER be the source of advice, take it to heart. Do not look at the shell, for it is the kernel that gives value to the cocoanut husk. Your wife or children or relatives may put you in mind of Narayana. Tuka says, Admire the precious gem, though you have to thank a rag for preserving it.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
