Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पैल आले हरि । शंख चक्र शोभे करीं ॥1॥
गरुड येतो फडत्कारें । ना भी ना भी ह्मणे त्वरे ॥ध्रु.॥
मुगुटकुंडलांच्या दीिप्त । तेजें लोपला गभिस्त ॥2॥
मेघश्यामवर्ण हरि । मूतिऩ डोळस साजिरी ॥3॥
चुतर्भुज वैजयंती । गळां माळ हे रुळती ॥4॥
पीतांबर झळके कैसा । उजळल्या दाही दिशा ॥5॥
तुका जालासे संतुष्ट । घरा आलें वैकुंठपीठ ॥6॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Look, Hari approaches. The conch and disc shine in his hands. Garuda comes with a great rush of wings, calling out, 'Fear not, fear not,' in haste. The blazing light of his crown and earrings eclipses the sun. Dark as a raincloud is Hari, his form beautiful and pleasing. Four-armed, the Vaijayanti garland swings upon his chest. His yellow silk gleams so bright that all ten directions are lit. Says Tuka, he is utterly fulfilled; the throne of Vaikuntha has come home.
