Amhi vaikunthavasi
Alo yachi karanasi
[Leader only]
Bolile je rishi sach bhave vartavaya
Jhadun santanche marg
Adarane bharale jag
[Leader only]
Uchishtacha bhag
Shesh urale te sevun
Arthe lopali purane
Nash kela shabda-jnane
[Leader only]
Vishaylobhi man sadhane he budavili
Pitun bhakticha dangora
Kalikalasi darara
Tuka mhane kara
Jayjaykar anande
We are residents of Vaikuntha; we have come here for this very purpose: to live out, with true sincerity, the words spoken by the sages.
Let us sweep clean the path of the saints; the world is filled with obstacles. The sacred remnants of the saints, let us humbly partake of them.
The true meanings of the Puranas have been lost; mere verbal scholarship has destroyed them. Minds greedy for pleasures have drowned the true sadhana.
Beat the great drum of devotion, and strike terror into the age of Kali. Tuka says: Shout “Victory! Victory!” with joy!
