Tukārām's sants-as-chandana-of-the-world; māyabāpa canonical praise

The verse

तुम्ही संत मायबाप कृपावंत । काय मी पतित कीर्ती वाणूं ॥१॥ अवतार तुम्हां धराया कारणें । उद्धरावें जन जड जीव ॥ध्रु.॥ वाढविलें सुख भक्ति भाव धर्म । कुळाचार नाम विठोबाचें ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे गुण चंदनाचे अंगीं । तैसे तुम्ही जगीं संतजन ॥३॥
