Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
व्यभिचारिणी गणिका कुंटणी । विश्वास चि मनीं राघोबाचा ॥1॥
ऐसी ही पापिणी वाइली विमानी । अचळ भुवनीं टेवियेली ॥ध्रु.॥
पतितपावन तिहीं लोकीं ठसा । कृपाळू कोंवसा अनाथांचा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विठोबाची धरा सोय । आणिक उपाय नेणों किती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The sinful courtesan, a woman of ill repute, held unwavering faith in Rama within her heart. Even such a sinner was carried to heaven in a celestial chariot and placed in an eternal realm. The Redeemer of the fallen, His renown resounds in all three worlds; He is compassionate and a shelter for the destitute. Says Tuka, hold fast to Vitthal's path, for I know of no other remedy.
