Krishna Palna Jo Bala Jo Jo Re Jo Lyrics In Marathi
पहिल्या दिवशी जन्मले बाळ
कळस सोन्याचा देते डहाळ
कृष्ण जन्मला कंसाचा काळ
जो बाळा जो जो रे जो
दुसऱ्या दिवशी दुसरा रंग
रूप सावळे गोरस अंग
जसा झळकतो आरशाचा भिंग
जो बाळा जो जो रे जो
तिसऱ्या दिवशी आनंद मोठा
सीता सावित्री बायांनो उठा
खारीक खोबरं साखर वाटा
जो बाळा जो जो रे जो
चौथ्या दिवशी बोलली बाळी
अनुसयेनं वाजविली टाळी
कृष्ण जन्मला यमुना स्थळी
जो बाळा जो जो रे जो
पाचव्या दिवशी सत्ताईचा वेढा
लिंबू नारळ देवीला फोडा
तान्ह्या बाळाची दृष्ट काढा
जो बाळा जो जो रे जो
