Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
गोबरधन नखपर गोकुल राखा । बर्सन लागा जब मेंहुं फत्तरका ॥1॥
वैकुंठनायक काल कौंसासुरका । दैत डुबाय सब मंगाय गोपिका ॥2॥
स्तंभ फोड पेट चिरीया कसेपका । प्रल्हाद के लियें कहे भाइऩ तुकयाका ॥3॥ ॥22॥
॥ साख्या ॥ 30 ॥
तुका बस्तर बिचारा क्यों करे रे । अंतर भगवा न होय।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He lifted Mount Govardhan on His fingernail and sheltered Gokul when the rain of stones poured down. The Lord of Vaikuntha destroyed the demon Kounsa and drowned the demons, calling the gopis to safety. He split the pillar and tore open the belly of the tyrant for the sake of Prahlada. Says Tuka's brother, remember this.
