Pandhari
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 1116
सुरवर येती तीथॉ नित्यकाळ । पेंठ त्या निर्मळ चंद्रभागा ॥1॥
साक्षभूत नव्हे सांगितली मात । महिमा अत्यद्भुत वर्णवेना ॥ध्रु.॥
पंचक्रोशीमाजी रीग नाहीं दोषा । जळती आपैसा अघोर ते ॥2॥
निविऩषय नर चतुर्भुज नारी । अवघा घरोघरीं ब्रह्मानंदु ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे ज्यापें नाहीं पुष्पलेश । जा रे पंढरीस घेइप कोटि ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 157
BOTH gods above and places of pilgrimage come continually to visit this pure abode by the Chandrabhaga. This is no story I have heard; I describe what I have seen, for its unequalled splendour passes description. No guilt enters the ten miles of its circuit; the worst of sins burn themselves up by a natural fire; men and women are purged from lust; they become divine; the joy of Bramha dwells in every house. 59 Tuka says, Though you have no trace of merit, go to Pandhari and receive merit infinite.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
