Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
भूत नावरे कोणासी । पुंडलीकें खििळलें त्यासी॥1॥
समचरण असे विटे । कटिकर उभें नीट ॥ध्रु.॥
वाळुवंटीं नाचती संत । प्रेमामृतें डुल्लत ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पुंडलीका । भिHबळें तूं चि निका ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This spirit could not be controlled by anyone, yet Pundalik nailed Him to that spot. With even feet on the brick He stands, hands on hips, perfectly still. In the sand-bed the saints dance, swaying in the nectar of divine love. Says Tuka, O Pundalik, by the power of your devotion, you alone are truly great.
