Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देव भला देव भला । मिळोनि जाय जैसा त्याला॥1॥
देव उदार उदार । देतां नाहीं थोडें फार ॥ध्रु.॥
देव बळी देव बळी। जोडा नाहीं भूमंडळीं ॥2॥
देव व्हावा देव व्हावा । आवडे तो सर्वां जीवां ॥3॥
देव चांगला चांगला । तुका चरणीं लागला ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
God is good; He mingles and becomes one with whoever approaches Him. God is generous; when giving, He knows no measure of too little or too much. God is mighty; there is no equal to Him in all the world. Everyone in all creation loves God. Says Tuka, God is good, and I have fallen at His feet.
