रमाबाई कुकु लेती जसा गंधाचा टिकला
संकटाच्या येळी नाही भीम तो एकला
ramābāī kuku lētī jasā gandhācā ṭikalā
saṅkaṭācyā yēḷī nāhī bhīma tō ēkalā

✎ Ramabai applies kunku* like a big mark of (sandalwood) paste
In the times of difficulty, Bhim* is not alone (she is with him)
▷ Ramabai kunku (लेती)(जसा)(गंधाचा)(टिकला)
▷ (संकटाच्या)(येळी) not Bhim (तो)(एकला)

Ramā applique du kumku tel un point couleur rouge
Bhīm, lui, n'est jamais seul aux moments difficiles.
