श्री विठ्ठल · Marathi आरती
युगें अठ्ठावीस विटेवरी उभा (विठ्ठल आरती)
युगे अठ्ठावीस विटेवरी ऊभा ।
वामांगी रखुमाई दिसे दिव्य शोभा ।
पुंडलिकाचे भेटी परब्रह्म आले गा ।
चरणी वाहे भीमा उद्धरी जगा ॥
जय देव जय देव जय पांडुरंगा ।
रखुमाई वल्लभा राईच्या वल्लभा ।
पावे जिवलगा ॥ जय देव ॥
तुळसी माळा गळा कर ठेवुनी कटी ।
कासे पितांबर कस्तुरी लल्लाटी ।
देव सुरवर नित्य येती भेटी ।
गरुड हनूमंत पुढे उभे राहती ॥ जय देव ॥
धन्य वेणुनाद अनुक्षेत्रपाळा ।
सुवर्णाची कमळे वनमाळा गळा ।
राई रखुमाबाइ राणीया सकळा ।
ओवाळू आरत्या विठोबा सावळा ॥ जय देव ॥
ओवाळू आरत्या कुरवंड्या येती ।
चंद्रभागेमध्ये सोडुनिया देती ।
दिंड्या पताका वैष्णव नाचती ।
पंढरीचा महिमा वर्णावा किती ॥ जय देव ॥
आषाढी कार्तिकी भक्तजन येती ।
चंद्रभागेमध्ये स्नान जे करती ।
दर्शन हेळामात्रे तया होय मुक्ती ।
केशवासी नामदेव भावे ओवाळिती ॥ जय देव ॥

What the aarti says, in simple English.
For twenty-eight yugas he has stood on a brick, with Rukmini at his left in divine splendour. The Supreme Brahman came to meet his devotee Pundalik, and the Bhima river flows at his feet to uplift the world. Victory to Panduranga, beloved of Rukmini and Rai – come, dearest one. A tulsi garland at his neck, hands on his hips, yellow silk at his waist and musk on his brow; gods visit daily while Garuda and Hanuman stand before him. Blessed is the sound of his flute; golden lotuses and a forest garland adorn him, and Rai, Rukmabai and all the queens wave lamps before dark King Vithoba. Lamps float on the Chandrabhaga, dindis and flags dance – how much can Pandharpur's glory be described? On Ashadhi and Kartiki Ekadashi devotees bathe in the Chandrabhaga and attain liberation at a single glimpse; Namdev lovingly waves the lamp before Keshava.
