Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नाम घेतां उठाउठीं । होय संसारासी तुटी ॥1॥
ऐसा लाभ बांधा गांठी । विठ्ठलपायीं पडे मिठी ॥ध्रु.॥
नामापरतें साधन नाहीं । जें तूं करिशी आणिक कांहीं ॥2॥
हाकारोनि सांगे तुका । नाम घेतां राहों नका ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By uttering the Name without delay, one's bondage to the world is severed. Tie this profit to your soul and embrace the feet of Vitthal. There is no spiritual practice greater than the Name; whatever else you may do is of no avail. Says Tuka, calling out to all: do not hold back from taking the Name.
