Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
येऊं द्या जी कांहीं वेसकरास । आंतून बाहेर वोजेचा घास ॥१॥
जों यावें तों हात चि रिता नाहीं । कधीं तरीं कांहीं द्यावें घ्यावें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे उद्यां लावीन म्हनेरा । जे हे दारोदारांभोंवतीं फिरा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let whatever comes be given to the watchman. A share of every load passing in and out is his due. Whoever enters must not come empty-handed. Something given, something taken, every single time. Says Tuka, tomorrow I will levy the fine on all of you who wander door to door.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
