Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सांडवले सकळांचे अभिमान । आणिले शरण लोटांगणीं॥1॥
लोटांगणीं आले होऊनियां दीन । मग नारायण ह्मणे भलें ॥2॥
भला आजि तुह्मी केला साच पण । गिरि गोवर्धन उचलिला ॥3॥
लागती चरणा सकळ ते काळीं । आह्मांमध्यें बळी तूं चि एक ॥4॥
एका तुजविण न यों आह्मी कामा । कळों कृष्णा रामा आलें आजी ॥5॥
आजिवरि आह्मां होता अभिमान । नेणतां चरणमहिमा तुझा ॥6॥
तुझा पार आह्मी नेणों नारायणा । नखीं गोवद्धऩना राखियेलें ॥7॥
राखियेलें गोकुळ आह्मां सकळांसि । दगडाच्या राशी वरुषतां ॥8॥
वर्णावें तें काय तुझें महिमान । धरिती चरण सकिळक ॥9॥
सकळ ही तान विसरलीं भूक । सकळ ही सुख दिलें त्यांसि ॥10॥
त्यासि कळों आला वैकुंठनायका। तुका ह्मणे लोक निर्भर ते ॥11॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The pride of all was dissolved, and they fell prostrate in surrender. They came as humble supplicants, and Narayana said, 'Well done.' 'Today you have truly kept your pledge. You have lifted the Govardhan mountain.' They all fell at His feet. 'Among us, You alone are the strong One.' 'Without You, we are of no use. Today we have understood, O Krishna, O Rama.' 'Until now we were full of pride, not knowing the greatness of Your feet.' 'We do not know Your depths, O Narayana. You held Govardhan upon Your fingertip.' 'You saved Gokul and all of us when boulders rained from the sky.' 'How can we describe Your greatness?' Everyone held His feet. They all forgot hunger and thirst. They were given complete happiness. Says Tuka, they recognized the Lord of Vaikuntha, and the people were filled with perfect peace.
