Majhe Maher Pandhari lyrics in English:

Maajhe maaher pndhari, ahe bhiwarechya tiri

Baap ani aai, maajhi withhathhal rakhumaai

Maajhe maaher pndhari ...

Pundalik rahe bandhu, tyaachi khyaati kaay saangu

Maajhe maaher pndhari ...

Maajhi bahin chndrabhaaga, karitase paapabhnga

Maajhe maaher pndhari ...

Eka janaardani sharan, kari maaherachi athhawan

Maajhe maaher pndhari ...

Matrisommelon Git Panchali Lyrics

Meaning:

PanDhari (panDharaPura) is my mother’s house which is on the banks of BheemA (bheevaraa) river.

father and mother, is my Vitthala and Rakhumai (Rukmini)

PunDalika stays as my brother, what should I tell about his fame !?

my sister is ChandrabhagA (river BheemA is called ChandrabhagA in PanDharapura as it’s course takes the shape of moon crescent here), breaks the sins – makes us free of our sins.

ekA (which also means ‘one’) –ekanatha is devoted to/ surrendered to JanArdana (JanArdana Swamy was the guru of Saint Ekanatha, Guru is seen in very high respect in India and thus poet remembers his Guru in each of his compositions), remembering maaher -the mother’s home, PanDharapura.

Special Mention:

In Indian context maaher (Kannada ತವರುಮನೆ tavaru mane/ Hindi मायका maayakaa) or mother’s (parent’s place) house has a lot of importance as the girl leaves it for forever and comes to husband’s house –her own house still, the hometown, the mom’s place remains her special for forever. Sense of belonging is attached with it. So the poet says that PanDharapura, the abode of Lord ViTThala is the maaher for him.

Pundalika - Bhakta Pundalika is the person whose devotion is said to have brought Lord Vishnu from his abode VaikunTha to PanDharapura in the form of Lord ViTThala.
