II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

भुंकूनिया सुने लागे हत्तीपाठी I

होऊनि हिंपुटी दुःख पावे II

काय त्या मशके तयाचे करावे I

आपुल्या स्वभावे पीडतसे II

माकड विटवी पंचानना I

घेतले मरणा घेतले तेणे II

तुका म्हणे संतां पीडितील खळ I

येती तोंड काळे करुनियां II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, history is replete with examples where all attempts of annoying and tormenting a "Sant" always go in vain, for while the "Sant" who lives in the world but not of the world remains unperturbed, the suffering boomerangs on the perpetrator or in other words the hunter becomes the hunted.

Illustrating this with beautiful analogy he says, an elephant never minds a barking dog. Nevertheless the dog keeps on barking even with no reaction from elephant and gets tired in the end.

In another analogy he says, a monkey teasing a lion puts his life in peril."
