The Power of God's Name
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 1481
नाशवंत देह नासेल हा जाणा । कां रे उच्चाराना वाचे नाम ॥1॥
नामें चि तारिले कोटएान हे कोटी । नामें हे वैकुंठी बैसविले ॥ध्रु.॥
नामापरतें सार नाहीं त्रिभुवनीं । तें कां तुह्मी मनीं आठवाना ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाम वेदांसी आगळें । तें दिलें गोपाळें फुकासाटीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 261
BB assured that this perishable body will be destroyed: why then do you not utter his name ? Countless millions have been saved by his name; it has given them a place in Vaikuntha. There is nothing in the three worlds of such virtue as his name: why do you not recall it? Tuka says, His name is more glorious than the Vedas; Gopala has bestowed it on us freely.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
