Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मानामान किती । तुझ्या क्षुल्लका संपत्ती ॥1॥
जा रे चाळवीं बापुडीं । कोणी धरिती तीं गोडी ॥ध्रु.॥
रििद्धसिद्धी देसी। आह्मीं चुंभळें नव्हों तैसीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ठका । ऐसें नागविलें लोकां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How much honor do you claim from your petty wealth? Go and impress the gullible; let those who like such things be charmed by them. Even if you offer riddhis and siddhis, we are not like innocents to be won over. Says Tuka, O deceiver, this is how you have cheated the world.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
