आपुलिया लाजा । धांवे भHांचिया काजा ॥1॥
नाम धरिलें दिनानाथ । सत्य करावया व्रत ॥ध्रु.॥
आघात निवारी। छाया पीतांबरें करी ॥2॥
उभा कर कटीं । तुका ह्मणे याजसाटीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For the sake of his own honor, he runs to serve the needs of his devotees. He bears the name Dinanath, Lord of the humble, to fulfill that vow. He wards off every blow and makes shade for his own with his pitambara. Says Tuka, he stands with hands upon his waist for precisely this reason.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
