commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. He also wrote

flower and fruit, inconceivable in separation. He
succeeded the works of Jnaneshwar and Namdev. He also
wrote religious songs like Abhangas, Owees and Bharuds.

Tukaram's, (1608‐'50) secret peculiarity lies in the rustic
simplicity and utter frankness on self‐revelation in his songs

devotion. He wrote devotional songs like 'Abhangas' and
