Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आचरती कर्में । तेथें काळें कर्मधर्में ॥1॥
खेळे गोविळयांसवें । करिती तें त्यांचें साहावें ॥ध्रु.॥
यYामुखें घांस । मंत्रपूजेसी उदास ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे चोरी । योगियां ही सवें करी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where people perform their rites, He plays His part in the customs of dharma. He plays with the cowherd boys, enduring whatever they do. At the sacrificial altar He eats morsels, indifferent to the mantras and worship. Says Tuka, He even commits the theft of butter; such is His mischief with all.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
