The piyyut, “Adon Olam” became popular in the 15th century and is often attributed to Solomon ibn Gabirol (1021–1058) and less often to Sherira Gaon (900-1001), or his son, Hai ben Sherira Gaon (939-1038). The variation of the piyyut appearing here is the fifteen line version familiar to some Mizraḥi and eastern Sefaradi congregations. (A twelve line variant is common among the Western Sefaradim. The Ashkenazi version has ten lines.) The Marathi translation was made by Joseph Ezekiel Rajpurkar as published in סדר תפלת החדש The Daily Prayers translated from Hebrew in Marathi (1889), pp. 7-8.
