मराठी मूळ
 जरि न भरे पोट । तरि सेवूं दरकूट ॥1॥
 परि न घलूं तुज भार । हा चि आमुचा निर्धार ॥ध्रु.॥
 तुझें नाम अमोलिक। नेणती हे ब्रह्मादिक ॥2॥
 ऐसें नाम तुझें खरें । तुका ह्मणे भासे पुरें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If my stomach is not filled, I will eat dry crusts. But I will not place any burden upon You. This is my firm resolve. Your name is priceless; even Brahma and the gods cannot know its full worth. Says Tuka, Your name is genuinely real. It feels sufficient and complete.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
नाम महिमा
The Power of the Name
