श्री समर्थांच्या शिष्या वेणीबाई यांनी
श्री समर्थ स्थापित 11 मारूतींच्या स्थानांचे
खालील ओवीत अतिशय सुंदर वर्णन केले आहे.
चाफळामाजी दोन उंब्रजेसी येक ।
पारगांवी देख चौथा तो हा ॥
पांचवा मसुरीं शहापुरीं सहावा ।
जाण तो सातवा शिराळ्यांत॥
सिंगणवाडीं आठवा मनपाडळें नववा।
दहावा मानवा मजक्षावीं॥
बह्यात अकरावा येणेरिती गावा।
सर्व मनोरथा पुरवील॥
वेणी म्हणे स्वामी समर्थ रामदास।
कीर्ती गगनांत न सामावे॥
