By Samarth RamdasLanguage Marathi4 verses
सुखकर्ता दुःखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची। नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची॥ सर्वांगी सुंदर उटी शेंदुराची। कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळांची॥
Sukhkarta dukhharta varta vighnachi, Nuravi puravi prem kripa jayachi. Sarvangi sundar uti shendurachi, Kanthi jhalke maal muktaphalanchi.
He gives joy and takes away sorrow, and leaves no trace of obstacles; his love and grace fill us completely. His whole body is beautiful with a coat of red sindoor, and a necklace of pearls shines at his throat.
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती। दर्शनमात्रे मन कामना पुरती॥ जय देव जय देव॥
Jai Dev Jai Dev Jai Mangalmurti, Darshanmatre man kaamna purti. Jai Dev Jai Dev.
Victory to the Lord, the embodiment of auspiciousness! At the mere sight of him, the wishes of the heart are fulfilled.
रत्नखचित फरा तुज गौरीकुमरा। चंदनाची उटी कुंकुमकेशरा॥ हिरेजडित मुकुट शोभतो बरा। रुणझुणती नूपुरे चरणी घागरिया॥
Ratnakhachit phara tuj Gaurikumara, Chandanachi uti kumkum-keshara. Hirejadit mukut shobhato bara, Runjhunati noopure charani ghagariya.
O son of Gauri, a jewelled seat is yours, and a paste of sandal, kumkum and saffron. A diamond-studded crown suits you well, and anklets jingle on your feet.
लंबोदर पीतांबर फणिवरबंधना। सरळ सोंड वक्रतुंड त्रिनयना॥ दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना। संकटी पावावे निर्वाणी रक्षावे सुरवरवंदना॥
Lambodar pitambar phanivarbandhana, Saral sond vakratund trinayana. Daas Ramacha vaat pahe sadana, Sankati pavave nirvani rakshave survarvandana.
Big-bellied one in yellow silk, with a serpent as your belt, with a straight trunk and curved face and three eyes: Ram's servant waits for you at home. Come to us in trouble and protect us at the end, O you whom the gods worship.
