Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For a long time the burden of veth weighed upon my head. I bore that heavy load. Now the burden has been lifted. You have taken me as Your own. Again and again I came before You, pleading. How many times, in the past. Says Tuka, O God, today my service has borne its fruit.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
