Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय हएाचें घ्यावें । नित्य नित्य कोणें गावें ॥1॥
केलें हरिकथेनें वाज । अंतरोनी जाते निज ॥ध्रु.॥
काम संसार । अंतरीं हे करकर ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हेंड । ऐसे मानिती ते लंड ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What can be gained from such people? Who should sing daily for them? They have turned the telling of Hari into a trade, while their true nature retreats within. Worldly desire and household life churn noisily within them. Says Tuka, those who honor such people are shameless wretches.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
