Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अविनाशा अलक्षा परता परब्रह्मा । अकळकळा कमळापती न कळे महिमा ॥1॥
जय देव जय देव जया जी श्रीपती । मंगळशुभदायका करीन आरती ॥ध्रु.॥
गोविंदा गोपाळा गोकुळरक्षणा। गिरिधरकर भवसागरतारक दधिमथना ।
मधुसूदन मुनिजीवन धरणीश्रमहरणा । दीनवत्सळ सकळां मूळ जय जयनिधाना ॥2॥
विश्वंभरा सर्वेश्वर जगदाधारा । चक्रधर करुणाकर पावन गजेंद्रा ।
सुखसागर गुणआगर मुगुटमणी शूरा । कल्याणकैवल्यमूतिऩ मनोहरा ॥3॥
गरुडासना शेषशयना नरहरी । नारायणा ध्याना सुरहरवरगौरी।
नंदा नंदनवंदन त्रिभुवनांभीतरी । अनंतनामीं ठसा अवतारांवरी ॥4॥
सगुणनिर्गुणसाक्ष श्रीमंत संतां । भगवाना भगवंता कालकृदांता।
उत्पित्तपाळणपासुन संहारणसत्ता । शरण तुकयाबंधु तारीं रिति बहुतां ॥5॥
पंढरि पुण्यभूमी भीमा दिक्षणावाहिनी । तीर्थ हें चंद्रभागा महा पातकां धुनी ।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Imperishable, invisible, beyond the highest Brahman; O lord of Kamala, your glory is unfathomable. Victory to you, Shripati; I offer this auspicious arati. Govinda, Gopala, guardian of Gokul, lifter of the mountain, deliverer across the ocean of birth, churner of the cosmic ocean. Slayer of Madhu, life of the sages, remover of the earth's burden, friend of the lowly, root of all, hail to you, treasury of victory. Sustainer of the universe, lord of all, foundation of the world, bearer of the disc, merciful one who saved the elephant king. Ocean of bliss, storehouse of virtue, crest-jewel of heroes, embodiment of liberation and beauty. Seated on Garuda, resting on Shesha, O Narahari and Narayana. Nanda's son, adored one, within all three worlds, your infinite names bear the stamp of every incarnation. Witness of both the formed and the formless, O blessed one among saints, slayer of time and lord of creation, preservation, and destruction. Says Tukayabandhu, save us all in your many ways.
