Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
दुर्वासया स्वामी गुंतलों भाकेसी । पुसा जा बळीसी निरोप द्यावा ॥1॥
त्याचे आYोविण आह्मां येतां नये । द्वारपाळ राहें होऊनियां ॥ध्रु.॥
पुसे दुर्वासया बळीसी जाऊनि । येरू ह्मणे झणी बोलों नका ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केला अन्यत्राचा त्याग । तेव्हां पांडुरंग सखा जाला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O Durvasa, I am bound by My promise. Go and ask Bali for his permission to release Me. Without his leave, I cannot depart, for I have become his gatekeeper. Durvasa went and asked Bali, but Bali replied: do not even speak of it. Says Tuka, when Bali renounced all else, Panduranga became his constant companion.
