Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सुरवर येती तीथॉ नित्यकाळ । पेंठ त्या निर्मळ चंद्रभागा ॥1॥
साक्षभूत नव्हे सांगितली मात । महिमा अत्यद्भुत वर्णवेना ॥ध्रु.॥
पंचक्रोशीमाजी रीग नाहीं दोषा । जळती आपैसा अघोर ते ॥2॥
निविऩषय नर चतुर्भुज नारी । अवघा घरोघरीं ब्रह्मानंदु ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे ज्यापें नाहीं पुष्पलेश । जा रे पंढरीस घेइप कोटि ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The gods come daily for pilgrimage to this holy place. The pure Chandrabhaga is the marketplace. This is no hearsay; it is eyewitness testimony. The wonder is beyond all telling. Within the five-krosha boundary, no sin can enter; all impurities are burned away of their own accord. The men are free of all sense-objects; the women bear four divine arms. Every household rings with the bliss of Brahman. Says Tuka, if you do not have so much as a fragment of a flower of merit, go to Pandhari and receive a crore in return.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
