Kaya Hi Pandhari - Sant Eknath

काया ही पंढरी आत्मा हा विठ्ठल ।
नांदतो केवळ पांडुरंग ॥१॥

Kayaa Hi Pandhari Aathma Haa Vittala
Naandhatho Kevala Paanduranga

My body is Pandhari and my soul is Vittal.
Only Panduranga dwells inside me.

भाव-भक्ति भीमा उदक ते वाहे ।
बरवा शोभताहे पांडुरंग ॥२॥

Bhaav Bhakthi Bheema Udhak They Vaahe
Baravaa Shobhathaahe Paanduranga

My faith and devotion in Panduranga is like flowing water of Bheema river.

दया क्षमा शांती हेंचि वाळुवंट ।
मिळालासे थाट वैष्णवांचा ॥३॥

Dhayaa Kshamaa Shaanthi Hechi Vaaluvanta
Milaalaase Thaata Vaishnavaanchaa

Compassion, Forgiveness and Peace in our heart is like gathering of Vaishnavites in the sands of Chandra Bhaga river.

ज्ञान ध्यान पूजा विवेक आनंद ।
हाचि वेणुनाद शोभतसे ॥४॥

Jnaana Dhyaana Poojaa Viveka Aaanandha
Haachi Venunaadha Shobhathase

Awareness, Meditation, Prayer and Prudence is my happiness like notes emanating from Krishna’s flute.

दश इंद्रियांचा एक मेळ केला ।
ऐसा गोपाळकाला होत असे ॥५॥

Dasha Indriyaancha Eka Mela Kelaa
Aisaa Gopaalkaalaa Hotha Ase

I have gathered all ten of my organs of senses (five Jnanendriyas) and of actions (Karmendriyas) that is my offering to the Lord.

देखिली पंढरी देहीं-जनी-वनीं ।
एका जनार्दनी वारी करी ॥६॥

Dhekhili Pandhari Dehi Jani Vani
Eka Janardhani Vaari Kari

Eknath says, i see the sanctity of Pandhari in Myself, in People and in all surroundings. That is the place of pilgrimage inside us.
