Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल विठ्ठल मंत्र सोपा । करी पापा निर्मूळ ॥1॥
भाग्यवंता छंद मनीं । कोडें कानीं ऐकती ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल हें दैवत भोळें। चाड काळें न धरावी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भलते याती । विठ्ठल चित्तीं ते शुद्ध ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The mantra of Vitthal is simple and uproots all sin completely. The fortunate carry this passion in their hearts; the blessed long to hear it with their ears. Vitthal is a generous, guileless deity; one should never hold back out of doubt. Says Tuka, whoever holds Vitthal in their heart, regardless of caste, becomes pure.
