Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बहु उतावीळ भHीचिया काजा । होसी केशीराजा मायबापा ॥1॥
तुझ्या पायीं मज जालासे विश्वास । ह्मणोनियां आस मोकलिली ॥ध्रु.॥
ॠषि मुनि सिद्ध साधक अपार । कळला विचार त्यांसी तुझा ॥2॥
नाहीं नास तें सुख दिलें तयांस । जाले जे उदास सर्वभावें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे सुख न माये मानसीं । धरिले जीवेंसी पाय तुझे ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You are most eager for the cause of devotion, O Keshiraja, Father and Mother. I have placed my trust at Your feet, and so I have let go of all expectations. Sages, mystics, the perfected, and seekers beyond number have understood Your nature. To those who became wholly detached in every way, You gave imperishable joy. Says Tuka, the happiness cannot be contained in the manas. I have clasped Your feet with my very jiva.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
