II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जातो न येतिया वाटा I

काय निरवितो करंटा II

कैसा जालासे बेश्रम I

लाज नाही न म्हणे राम II

पाहे वैरीयाकडे I

डोळे वासुनिया रडे II

बांधुनिया यमा हाती I

दिला नाही त्याची खंती II

नाही यांपे काम I

ऐसे जाणतो अधम II

अझुन तरी मुका I

कां रे झालासी म्हणे तुका II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, though all the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath, yet he forgets not of making a will of how he wants to distribute his wealth among his loved ones. He is unable to let go of attachment to his material possessions despite knowing that there is no way back from the place to which he will be soon departing to, for good. Shameless is the dying man who clings to worldly attachments even on the verge of his death but is reluctant to chant the Holy RamNam, the true panacea of all the sufferings.

He says, the ignorant of the ignorance holds on to anger, resentment and thoughts of revenge even at the brink of death, aware that soon after he will be left only as a memory.

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, wake up O'Man from the slumber of ignorance and do the Name Worship of GOD as much possible, for your loved ones can accompany you at the most up to the crematorium but on the funeral pyre you will be all alone."
