Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
उष्टएा पत्रावळी करूनियां गोळा । दाखविती कळा कवित्वाची ॥1॥
ऐसे जे पातकी ते नरकीं पचती । जोंवरी भ्रमती चंद्रसूर्य ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे एक नारायण घ्याइप । वरकडा वाहीं शोक असे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
They gather leftover leaf-plates and with them display their so-called poetic art. Such transgressors will be cooked in naraka for as long as the sun and moon continue to revolve. Says Tuka, take hold of the one Narayana. All else is lamentation and nothing more.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
