Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बळी ह्मणे आजि दुर्वासया स्वामी । मागों नका तुह्मी नारायणा ॥1॥
बहुतां प्रयासीं जोडला श्रीहरी । बैसविला द्वारीं राखावया ॥ध्रु.॥
परतला दुर्वास मग हो तेथूनि । चिंतातुर मनीं उद्वेगला ॥2॥
काय तूं एकाचा आहेसी अंकित । होइप कृपावंत तुका ह्मणे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Bali said: O Durvasa, do not ask me to give up Narayana. I obtained Hari after great effort, and I have seated Him at my door to guard it. Durvasa turned back from there, troubled and agitated in his mind. Says Tuka, are You beholden to only one? Be gracious to all, O Lord.
