Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
वाटीभर विष दिलें प्रल्हादासी । निर्भय मानसीं तुझ्याबळें ॥1॥
भोHा नारायण केलें तें प्राशन । प्रतापें जीवन जालें तुझ्या ॥ध्रु.॥
नामाच्या चिंतनें विषाचें तें आप । जाहालें देखत नारायणा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसे तुझे बडिवार । सिणला फणीवर वर्णवेना ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A cup full of poison was given to Prahlada, but his heart was fearless by Your strength. O Narayana, he drank what was offered, and by Your power it became life-giving nectar. Through remembrance of the Name, the poison was transformed into water before everyone's eyes. Says Tuka, such are Your wondrous glories that even the thousand-hooded serpent grows weary and cannot describe them all.
