Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
राजा चाले तेथें वैभव सांगातें । हें काय लागतें सांगावें त्या ॥1॥
कोणी कोणा एथें न मनी जी फुका । कृपेविण एका देवाचिया ॥ध्रु.॥
शृंगारिलें नाहीं तगोंयेत वरि । उमटे लौकरि जैसे तैतें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे घरीं वसे नारायण । कृपेची ते खुण साम्या येते ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the king travels, grandeur accompanies him naturally. Does anyone need to tell the king this? No one here values anyone else for free, not without the grace of God alone. An image that has not been properly adorned will soon show its true nature underneath. Says Tuka, when Narayana dwells in the house, the signs of His grace become evident.
