English translation of the Namaskar (salutation) song. See the Glossary for special terms.
My salutation to that Gajanan,
Who runs to the call of devotees ॥ refrain ॥
Lit the chillum without a spark,
Produced water in a dry well,
Averted Janrao's deadly crisis with tirth,
By blessing, Khandu had a son-jewel ॥ 1 ॥
Protected Marutipant's field,
Averted the situation upon Pitambar,
Gave padukas to Pundalik,
Vitthal-darshan to Bapuna Kale ॥ 2 ॥
Freed Khandu Patil of fetters,
Freed Bandutatya of debt,
Saved Ganu Javare from the explosive,
He who protected Bayja's honor ॥ 3 ॥
Gangabharati became free of leprosy,
The Varkari became free of cholera,
From Tukya's ear the pellet came out,
With angara, Bhau was made disease-free ॥ 4 ॥
Gave household-happiness to Hari Jakhada,
Taught yoga-knowledge to Nimonkar,
Gave Balkrishna the darshan of Ramdas,
Gave Hari Patil the darshan of Vitthal ॥ 5 ॥
