Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
गोबरधन नखपर गोकुल राखा । बर्सन लागा जब मेंहुं फत्तरका ॥1॥
वैकुंठनायक काल कौंसासुरका । दैत डुबाय सब मंगाय गोपिका ॥2॥
स्तंभ फोड पेट चिरीया कसेपका । प्रल्हाद के लियें कहे भाइऩ तुकयाका ॥3॥ ॥22॥
॥ साख्या ॥ 30 ॥
तुका बस्तर बिचारा क्यों करे रे । अंतर भगवा न होय।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He lifted Mount Govardhan on His fingernail and sheltered Gokul when the rain of stones came pouring down. The Lord of Vaikuntha, the destroyer of Kansa the demon: He drowned the demons and called the gopis back. He split the pillar and tore open the belly of Hiranyakashipu for the sake of Prahlada. Says Tuka's brother, hold this in your heart.
