II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तुज दिले आतां करी यत्न याचा I

जीव भाव वाचा काया मन I

भागलो दातारा सीण झाला भारी I

आतां मज तारी शरणांगता II

नेणतां सोशिली तयाची आटणी I

नव्ह्तांही कोणी कांही माझी II

वर्म नेणे दिशा हिंडती मोकाट I

इंद्रिये सुनाट दाही दिशा II

येरझारी फेरा शिणलो सायासी I

आतां हृषीकेशी अंगीकारी II

तुका म्हणे मन इंद्रियांचे सोई I

धांवे यासी काई करूं आता II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, be my Savior O'Lord, for the surrendered me seeks You wholeheartedly. Be my helmsman O'Lord and take me across the sea of repeated sufferings, for the struggle for survival has enervated me.

He says, though all that I call of 'mine' is an illusion, my life was spent on giving a secured life to my wife and children and in the end it wearied me.

He says, my senses went berserk because I couldn't tether them to the pole of Your devotion. 

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the senses are lured by the charms around and the mind follows the suit. This is going on since time immemorial making the repeated sufferings inevitable. And therefore he says, save me O'Lord from this vicious cycle, for I am unable to mind my senses."
