Utta utta Sri Sainaathaguru charana kamala daavaa
Aadhivyaadhi bhavataapa vaarunee taaraa jadajeevaa :(dhr):
Arise! Arise! Shri Sainarh Guru, show us your lotus feet. Tide over and relieve us of all worldly tensions,
physical tribulations, and temporal problems; and, save us all.
Gelee tumha soduniyaa bhava tama rajanee vilayaa
Pareehi agnaanaasee tumachee bhulavi yogamaayaa
Sakthi na amhaa yatkinchitahee tijalaa saaraya
Tumheecha teete saaruni daavaa mukha jana taaraayaa
Dark worldly night has finished and left you. You are beyond all illusions. Yet the ignorant are deceived by
these illusions (‘Yogmaya’). We do not have even the slightest of powers to ward off these illusions. You alone
can grant salvation to the people by giving darshan (divine vision) of your divine face.
Bho Sainaatha Maharaaja bhava timiranaasaka ravee
Agnanee aamhee kitee tumhicha varnaava thoravee
Thee varnitaa bhaagale bahuvadani sesvidhi kavee
O, Lord Sainath Maharaj, you are the sun that destroys the darkness of ignorance of this world. How ignorant
we are! You alone can describe your greatness. Even the great poets and thousand headed Seshnag (snake on
which Lord Vishnu rests) are exhausted in their attempt to describe it.
Sakripa howuni mahimaa tumachaa tumheecha vadavaava Adhi….. Utha…..
Mercifully, therefore, O Lord you alone can describe your greatness. Tide over…
Bhakta manee sadbhaava dharooni je tumha anusarale,
Dhyaanyasthawa te darsana tumache dwwari ubhe ttele
Dhyaanasthaa tumha asa paahunee mana amuche ghaale,
Paree thwadvachanaamrith praasaayaate aatura jzhaale
The faithful devotees, who follow you with good intentions and feelings to have your darshan (Divine vision)
are waiting at your doors. We are filled with contentment to see you in deep meditation, but we are eager to
drink from you the nectar of your teachings.
Wughadoonee netrakamalaa deenabandhu Ramakaanta,
Paahi baa kripadrishtee baalakaa jashee maaataa
Ranjavee madhuravaanee haree taapa Sainaatha
Open you lotus eyes, Lord of the poor and destitute, Lord LaxmiPati (Vishnu) and look us at mercifully, as a
mother looks at her child. Your enlightened words and sweet voice, remove all our sufferings, O Sainatha.
Aamhceecha aapule karyaasthava tuja kashtavito Deva
Sahana karisil te aikuni dyaavee bhett Krishna daava
Utha…… adhivyadhi
O, Lord, we trouble you with our own problems. Please bear with us, listen to us, and meet us, is Krishna’s
(Composer of this portion of aarti) fervent prayer. Arise!… Arise!… Tide over…..

Rahi (Radha surrendered to the incarnation of Saguna avatar of Pandurang), Rakhumabai (Rukmini, consort

Swargiche surwar ghewuni aale bobhat
