॥
मराठी मूळ
तारी ऐसे जड । उदकावरी जो दगड ॥1॥
तो हा न करी तें काइऩ । कां रे लीन नव्हां पायीं ॥ध्रु.॥
सीळा मनुष्य जाली। ज्याच्या चरणाचे चाली ॥2॥
वानरां हातीं लंका । घेवविली ह्मणे तुका ॥3॥

English Translation
He floated heavy stones upon the water. What then can He not do? Why have you not dissolved yourself at His feet? A stone became a woman by the steps of His feet. Says Tuka, Lanka was seized by the hands of monkeys.
