Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
अतिवादी नव्हे शुद्ध या बीजाचा । ओळखा जातीचा अंत्यज तो ॥१॥
वेद श्रुति नाहीं ग्रंथ ज्या प्रमाण । श्रेष्ठाचें वचन न मानी जो ॥ध्रु.॥
तुका म्हणे मद्यपानाचें मिष्टान्न । तैसा तो दुर्जन शिवों नये ॥२॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He is no pure seed, that loud-mouth; know him as outcaste in spirit. The Vedas, the scriptures, the words of the wise, he holds none as authority. Says Tuka, like a sweet dish served with liquor, such a wretch is not to be touched.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
