Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आपुल्या महिमानें । धातु परिसें केलें सोनें ॥1॥
तैसें न मनीं माझे आतां । गुणदोष पंढरिनाथा ॥ध्रु.॥
गांवाखालील वाहाळ । गंगा न मनी अमंगळ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माती । केली कस्तुरीनें सरती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By its own glory, the philosopher's stone transforms base metal into gold. Likewise, O Lord of Pandhari, do not look at my merits and flaws. The Ganga does not consider the village drain impure. Says Tuka, even common clay, when mixed with musk, passes for precious.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
