Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
संतोषे माउली आरुषा वचनी । वोरसोनि स्तनीं लावी बाळा ॥1॥
तैसे परिमळाचें अवघें चि गोड । पुरवितो कोड पांडुरंग ॥ध्रु.॥
सेवा करी साहे निष्ठ उत्तरें । त्याचें वाहे मनीं तेंच बरें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे इच्छावसे खेळ खेळें । चिंता ते सकळ कांहीं नेणें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A mother is pleased even by her child's angry words; she draws it to her breast and lets it nurse. Just so, Panduranga finds everything sweet in devotion and fulfills every whim. He serves and endures even harsh words; whatever the devotee does, He considers good. Says Tuka, let the child play as it wishes; God knows no worry at all.
