मराठी मूळ
प्रल्हादाकारणें नरसिंहीं जालासी । त्याचिया बोलासी सत्य केलें ॥1॥
राम कृष्ण गोविंदा नारायणा हरि । गर्जे राजद्वारीं भक्तराज ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल माधव मुकुंद केशव । तेणें दैत्यराव दचकला ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तयां कारणें सगुण । भHांचें वचन सत्य केलें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For the sake of Prahlada You became Narasimha, making his words come true. Rama, Krishna, Govinda, Narayana, Hari, the royal devotee thundered these names at the king's gate. Vitthal, Madhava, Mukunda, Keshava, these names made the demon king tremble. Says Tuka, for the sake of Your devotees You assumed a visible form and proved the words of the faithful to be true.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
