II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जरी मी नव्हतो पतित I

तरि तू पावन कैचा येथ II

म्हणोनि माझे नांव आधी I

मग तू पावन कृपानिधी II

लोही महिमान परिसा I

नाही तरी दगड तैसा II

तुका म्हणे याचक भावे I

कल्पतरू मान पावे II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One becomes a resquer only when he saves someone from a dangerous or difficult situation. Similarly he says, You become the saviour O' GOD, only because countless like me look at You to save us from getting drowned in the abyss of ignorance. And therefore he says, I, the ignorant come before You O'GOD, and You come the next. 

Illustrating this with beautiful analogy he says, a 'Paras Stone or a Philosopher's Stone known to have an ability to turn iron into gold would have been no more than an ordinary stone had there been no iron. 

In another analogy he says, 'Kalpataru', the wish fulfilling tree would not have had its greatness had there been no wishers, for only emptiness invites fullness."
