गाथा 3985The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

 तुझिया नामाचा विसर न पडावा । ध्यानीं तो राहावा पांडुरंग ॥1॥

 उफराटें नाम वाल्मीक बोलीला । तो ही वंद्य केला नारायणें ॥2॥

 तुका ह्मणे मज तुझा चि भरवसा । धांवुनियां कैसा येसी देवा ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

May I never forget Your name; may Panduranga remain ever in my meditation. Valmiki chanted the name in reverse, yet even he was honored by Narayana. Says Tuka, my trust is in You alone. How swiftly You come running to my aid, O Lord.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
