1 . Kakada Aarti
Joduniyaa kara charanee ttevilaa mathaa
Parisawee vinanthee maajzee Sadgurunaathaa
With folded hands, I lay my head at your feet. O Sadgurunatha, please listen to my entreaty
Aso naso bhaava aalo tujziyaa ttaayaa
Kripaa drishtee paahe majzakade Sadgururaayaa
Forever, I want to remain at your feet, grant me the place without any hesitancy.
Akhandeeta asaave aise vaatate paayee
Sandoonee sankoch ttaava todaasaa deyee.
Since I desire to be at your feet always, give me shelter, leaving aside all reservations.
Tukaahmane Devaa maajzee vedeevaakudee
Naame bhavapaasaa haathee aapulyaa thondi
Tuka says: In whatever haphazard and worthless way I call you O God, by your name, break my worldly
shackles with your own hands.
Uttaa Paandurangaa aataa prabhaatasamayo paatalaa
Vaishnawaancha melaa garudapaaree daatalaa
Arise, O Panduranga (Vithal, Incarnation of Lord Vishnu at Pandharpur), it is now dawn. Vishnu’s devotees
have gathered in large numbers at Garudpara (Eagle-shaped platform found in Vaishnava temples).
Garuda paaraapaasunee mahaadwaaraa payanta
Suravaraanchee maandee ubhee jodooniyaa haat
From the Garudpara (Eagle-shaped platform found in Vaishnava temples), right upto the main door, the
assembly of the best of the deities stands with folded hands.
Suka anakaadika naarada tumbara bhaktanchyaa kotee
Trisool damaroo ghewooni wubhaa girijechaa patee
In the midst of large gathering are Shuka-Sanaka, Narada-Tumbar; and even Girija’s consort (Shankar) is standing there with trident and damru (sort of tabor shaped like an hour-glass).
Kaleeyugeechaa bhakta Namaa ubhaa keertanee
Paatteemaage wubhee dolaa laavuniyaa Janee
In these times of Kaliyug (The dark and troublesome Age of the present) Namdev is performing the kirtan
(Praising the Lord with music and singing) and behind him stands Jani (Servant at Namdev’s house. She was
dedicated to Pandurang) meditating on you with intensity.
