Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नेणती तयांसि साच भाव दावी हरी । लाज नाहीं नाचे पांवा वाजवी मोहरी ॥१॥
चला रे याच्या पायां लागों आतां । राखिलें जळतां महा आगीपासूनि ॥ध्रु.॥
कैसी रे कान्होबा एवढी गिळियेली आगी । न देखों पोळला तुज तोंडीं कोठें अंगी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे तुम्ही कां रे करितां नवल । आमची सिदोरी खातो त्याचें आलें बळ ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To the innocent, Hari reveals his true nature. He dances shamelessly and plays the flute without a care. Come, let us fall at his feet now, for he saved us from the great fire. How did you swallow such a blaze, Kanho, yet we see no burn upon your mouth or body? Says Tuka, why do you marvel? He eats our humble lunch, and from that comes all his strength.
