Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

द्वारकेचें केणें आलें या चि ठाया । पुढें भHराया चोजवीत ॥1॥

गोविलें विसारें माप केलें खरें । न पाहे माघारें अद्यापवरी ॥ध्रु.॥

वैष्णव मापार नाहीं जाली सळे । पुढें ही न कळे पार त्याचा ॥2॥

लाभ जाला त्यांनीं धरिला तो विचार । आहिक्य परत्र सांटविलें ॥3॥

तुका ह्मणे मज मिळाली मजुरी । विश्वास या घरीं संतांचिया ॥4॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The divine abundance of Dwaraka has come to this very place, as the Lord goes searching for His devotees. He was bound here by love; the measure was weighed as true and full, and He has not looked back since. The Vaishnavas who came to be measured were never shortchanged, nor will the full extent of this abundance ever be known. Those who gained this profit held firm to this wisdom, storing up the wealth of both this world and the next. Says Tuka, I too have received my wages, through the trust placed in the house of the saints.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
