Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देवाच्या प्रसादें करा रे भोजन । व्हाल कोण कोण अधिकारी ते ॥१॥
ब्रम्हादिकांसि हें दुर्लभ उच्छिष्ट । नका मानूं वीट ब्रम्हरसीं ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघियां पुरतें वोसंडलें पात्र । अधिकार सर्वत्र आहे येथें ॥२॥
इच्छादानी येथें वळला समर्थ । अवघें चि आर्त पुरवितो ॥३॥
सरे येथें ऐसें नाहीं कदाकाळीं । पुढती वाटे कवळीं घ्यावें ऐसें ॥४॥
तुका म्हणे पाक लक्षुमीच्या हातें । कामारीसांगातें निरुपम ॥५॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Partake of this feast by the grace of God; see who among you has the fitness for it. Even Brahma and the gods find these sacred leavings hard to obtain; do not disdain this nectar of the Absolute. The vessel overflows and is enough for all; everyone here has the right. The generous Lord has turned toward us; he fulfills every longing. This feast never runs short; each morsel makes you want another. Says Tuka, the cooking is by Lakshmi's own hand, and the meal, served with love, is beyond compare.
