गाथा 872The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

दीप न देखे अंधारा । आतां हें चि करा जतन ॥1॥

नारायण नारायण । गांठी धन बळकट ॥ध्रु.॥

चिंतामणीपाशीं चिंता । तत्वता ही नयेल ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे उभयलोकीं । हे चि निकी सामोग्री ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

A lamp knows no darkness. Now guard this treasure well. The Name of Narayana is wealth to be held firmly in the knot of your garment. Near the wish-fulfilling gem, no worry can approach. Says Tuka, this is the finest provision for both this world and the next.
