Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाहा रे हें दैवत कैसें । भिHपिसें भाविक ॥1॥
पाचारिल्या सरिसें पावे । ऐसें सेवे बराडी ॥ध्रु.॥
शुल्क काष्ठीं गुरुगुरी । लाज हरि न धरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे अर्धनारी । ऐसीं धरी रूपडीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
See what this deity is like: He is mad with love for His devotees. The moment you call, He comes running, just like that, as if drawn by a loud cry. He rumbles along with a rough wooden beam, carrying loads. Hari bears no shame in this. Says Tuka, He even assumes the form of Ardhanarishvara, taking on such forms as these.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
