Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पाहा रे हें दैवत कैसें । भिHपिसें भाविक ॥1॥
पाचारिल्या सरिसें पावे । ऐसें सेवे बराडी ॥ध्रु.॥
शुल्क काष्ठीं गुरुगुरी । लाज हरि न धरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे अर्धनारी । ऐसीं धरी रूपडीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
See what this deity is like: he is mad with love for his devotees. The moment you call, he comes running, just like that, as if summoned by a loud cry. He rides on a rough wooden beam with Shiva, bearing burdens without shame. Says Tuka, he even assumes the form of Ardhanarishvara, taking on such wondrous shapes.
