Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मांडवाच्या दारा । पुढें आणिला म्हातारा ॥१॥
म्हणे नवरी आणा रांड । जाळा नवर्याचें तोंड ॥ध्रु.॥
समय न कळे । काय उपयोगीं ये वेळे ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे खरा । येथूनिया दूर करा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
An old man was brought before the wedding canopy. He says, "Bring the whore! Burn the groom's face!" He does not know the occasion, or what serves this moment. Says Tuka, he is a genuine one, all right. Remove him from here.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
