नाम महिमा - ९ - संत तुकाराम

नाम साराचे ही सार | शरणागत यमकिंकर ||

उत्तमाउत्तम | वाचे बोला पुरूषोत्तम ||

नाम जपता चंद्रमौळी | नामे तरला वाल्हाकोळी ||

तुका म्हणे वर्णू काय | तारक विठोबाचे पाय ||

Name of the God is the summary of the summaries of all the scriptures, even the Lord of Death surrenders before the one who takes the name of the God.

O people! Whether you are good or bad, still chant the name of the God.

Even Lord Shiva continuously chants God's name. Rishi Valmiki (Valya koli – who was a deadly dacoit) was delivered by the name of the God.

Tuka says, how much shall I explain you, the feet of the God are deliverer.
