Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय दिनकरा । केला कोंबड्यानें खरा ॥१॥
कां हो ऐसा संत ठेवा । भार माझे माथां देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
आडविलें दासीं । तरि कां मरती उपवासी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे हातीं । कळा सकळ अनंतीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Was the sun made genuine by the rooster's crow? Why then, O God, place this precious treasure of sainthood as a weight upon my head? If maidservants could obstruct You, then why would people die of fasting? Says Tuka, all arts and skills rest in the hands of Ananta.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
