Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सोन्याचे पर्वत करवती पाषाण । अवघे रानोरान कल्पतरू ॥1॥
परि या दुर्लभ विठोबाचे पाय । तेथें हे उपाय न सरती ॥ध्रु.॥
अमृतें सागर भरवे ती गंगा । ह्मणवेल उगा राहें काळा ॥2॥
भूत भविष्य कळों येइऩल वर्तमान । करवती प्रसन्न रििद्धसिद्धी ॥3॥
स्थान मान कळों येती योगमुद्रा । नेववेल वारा ब्रह्मांडासी ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Even if mountains were made of gold and all stones turned to jewels, if every forest were filled with wish-fulfilling trees, even so, the feet of Vithoba would remain beyond reach; no such means can win them. Even if the seas were filled with nectar and the Ganga flowed with immortal water, even if one could silence death itself, even if one could know past, present, and future and master all powers and yogic seals, even if one could turn the winds of the universe.
