Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 वेद अनंत बोलिला । अर्थ इतका चि शोधिला॥1॥
 विठोबासी शरण जावें । निजनिष्ट नाम गावें ॥ध्रु.॥
 सकळशास्त्रांचा विचार । अंतीं इतका चि निर्धार ॥2॥
 अठरापुराणीं सिद्धांत । तुका ह्मणे हा चि हेत ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The Vedas have spoken endlessly, but the essence they reveal is just this: take refuge in Vithoba and sing His name with unwavering faith. The conclusion of all the scriptures points to the same truth. Says Tuka, this very intent is the established teaching of all eighteen Puranas.
