Following is the translation of the Joduniya Kara, the first verse in the kakad aarati. It has been composed by Saint Tuka Ram (1598-1649) in marathi.

1. With folded hands I place my forehead at your feat. O holy teacher please listen to my request.
2. Whether I may or may not have the appropriate mental attitude towards you for the purpose, but even then I have come to your refuge. Oh holy teacher please place your blessing giving glance on me.
3. May I always remain at your feet, this is my request to you. Therefore, without hesitation please give me a small place in your refuge.
4. Tuka Ram says, with whichever inappropriate way may I call you, oh lord ! with your hands please break my worldly bondages.
