120. The man who had come from Chinchwad sat listening to Tuka’s kirtan.
121. His devotion became fixed there and he forgot to deliver the message. Therefore he did not think of any worldly affairs, for his heart felt so happy.
122. He did not think of returning home. As he lovingly behdd Tuka he became absorbed in his kirtan.
123. At Chinobwad, Dev was waiting for his return. Said he, ‘ It many days, but neither Tuka nor the messenger has come back. I cannot say what has happened to him.
124, Then the men ( the Chinchwad Brahmans ) sent another messenger. He also happened to listen to Tuka’a kirtan and fell into the same subconscious state.
125. When after a further long delay he too did not return, a third man was sent. But he also lost regard for his body and his heart was full of love.
126. Then all the worshippers of Onjavadana ( Gkinpati ) wondered and exclaimed, ‘ Three men went to Dehu, but none returned.’
127. As streamlets on joining the Ganges forget their former state; or as fragrance from various flowers identifies itself in essence with the wind;
128, when a wave is united with water, or a cloud disappears in the sky, or as borax in a crucible, these never appear again in their original forms;
129. such was the state of the messengers; they did not come back at all to report the result of their mission. As they listened to the loving kirtan of Tuka they were lost in it.
