Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मारिले असुर दाटले मेदिनी । होते कोणाकोणी पीडित ते ॥1॥
ते हा नारायण पाठवी अघोरा । संतांच्या मत्सरा घातावरी ॥2॥
वरिले ते दूतीं यमाचिया दंडीं । नुच्चरितां तोंडीं नारायण ॥3॥
नारायण नाम नावडे जयासि । ते जाले मिरासी कुंभपाकीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The demons who had oppressed the earth were slain. They had tormented everyone in sight. Narayana sent them to the terrible realms, striking down those who persecuted the saints. Those who did not utter the Name of Narayana were seized by the messengers of Yama. Says Tuka, those to whom the Name of Narayana was hateful have become permanent residents of the boiling hells.
