Dehu
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 782
धन्य देहूं गांव पुण्य भूमि ठाव । तेथें नांदे देव पांडुरंग ॥1॥
धन्य क्षेत्रवासी लोक दइवाचे । उच्चारिती वाचे नामघोष ॥ध्रु.॥
गरुड पारीं उभा जोडुनियां कर । अश्वत्थ समोर उत्तरामुख ॥3॥
दिक्षणे शंकर लिंग हरेश्वर । शोभे गंगातीर इंद्रायणी ॥4॥
लIमीनारायण बल्लाळाचें वन । तेथें अधिष्ठान सिद्धेश्वर ॥5॥
विघ्नराज द्वारीं बहिरव बाहेरी । हनुमंत शेजारीं सहित दोघे ॥6॥
तेथें दास तुका करितो कीर्तन । हृदयीं चरण विठोबाचे ॥7॥

BLEST is the village of Dehu, holy is that spot of earth, for there lives Panduranga, our God. Blest are the husbandmen there, happy are they, who cry upon his name. With his hand upon his hip the father of the world stands there; by his left is Bakhumadevi, our mother; at the door stands Garuda with his hands joined together. On the north is, a peepul tree, on the south stands the Ling of Sankar; beautiful is the bank of the holy stream Indrayani. There is the wood of Lakshmlnarayaua Ballal, where the Lord of perfection dwells. Without is Bhairava, who smooths the way, with Hanumanta near at hand. There do I, Tuka, preach and sing, with the feet of Vitthoba in my heart. Y Cix nature of God 1.; Tn fiimself
