Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
धरियेलें रूप कृष्ण नाम बुंथी । परब्रह्म िक्षती उतरलें॥1॥
उत्तम हें नाम राम कृष्ण जगीं । तरावयालागीं भवनदी॥2॥
दिनानाथिब्रदें रुळती चरणी । वंदितील मुनि देव ॠषि ॥3॥
ॠषीं मुनीं भेटी दिली नारायणें । आणीक कारणें बहु केलीं ॥4॥
बहु कासावीस जाला भHांसाटीं । तुका ह्मणे आटी सोसियेली ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He assumed a form and took the Name of Krishna, and the supreme Brahman descended to earth. This glorious Name, Rama Krishna, exists in the world for the sake of crossing the river of existence. The pledges of the Friend of the Lowly trail at His feet. Sages, gods, and seers bow before them. God gave audience to sages and seers and performed countless other deeds. Says Tuka, He endured great hardship for the sake of His devotees.
