Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
स्तुति करीं जैसा नाहीं अधिकार । न कळे विचार योग्यतेचा ॥1॥
तुमचें मी दास संतांचें दुर्बळ । करूनि सांभाळ राखा पायीं ॥ध्रु.॥
रामकृष्णहरि मंत्र उच्चारणा । आवडी चरणां विठोबाच्या ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुमचें सेवितों उिच्छष्ट । क्षमा करीं धीट होऊनियां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I offer praise for which I have no authority. I do not understand the measure of my own worthiness. I am Your servant, the feeble one among the saints. Hold me, care for me, keep me at Your feet. The mantra of Rama, Krishna, Hari is what I love to utter. My delight is in the feet of Vithoba. Says Tuka, I live on Your blessed remnants. Forgive me for being so bold.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
