Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
ठकिलें काळा मारिली दडी । दिली कुडी टाकोनियां ॥1॥
पांघुरलों बहु काळें । घोंगडें बळें सांडवलें ॥ध्रु.॥
नये ऐसा लाग वरी । परते दुरी लपालें ॥2 ॥
तुका ह्मणे आड सेवा । लाविला हेवा धांदली ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have tricked Kala himself and gone into hiding, casting off this body. For long ages I wore that coarse blanket, but it has been shed by force. It would pursue me still, but I have hidden far beyond its reach. Says Tuka, envy and its commotion had blocked my service to the Lord.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
