The verse
कुरुवंडी करीन काया । वरोनि पायां गोजिरिया ॥१॥
बैसलें तें रूप डोळां । मन चाळा लागलें ॥ध्रु.॥
परतें न सरवे दुरि । आवडी पुरी बैसली ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे विसावलों । येथें आलों धणीवरि ॥३॥

For someone today
Tukaram describes the deep contentment of finally seeing what he has been longing for, offering his whole body in reverence around the Lord's beautiful feet. That image has settled so completely into his eyes and mind that he cannot pull away from it or move on to anything else, because his fondness has taken full root. He ends by saying he has finally found rest, arriving at a place where he is completely satisfied.
मराठी: तुकाराम आपल्या दीर्घकाळाच्या ओढीनंतर अखेर जे पाहायला मिळाले त्याचे खोल समाधान वर्णन करतात, देवाच्या सुंदर चरणांभोवती आपले संपूर्ण शरीर वाहून टाकत. ती प्रतिमा त्यांच्या डोळ्यांत आणि मनात इतकी पूर्णपणे स्थिरावली आहे की ते तिथून हलू शकत नाहीत किंवा दुसरीकडे लक्ष देऊ शकत नाहीत, कारण त्यांची ओढ पूर्णपणे रुजली आहे. शेवटी ते म्हणतात की त्यांना खरी विश्रांती मिळाली आहे, ते अशा ठिकाणी पोहोचले आहेत जिथे ते पूर्णपणे तृप्त आहेत.
