॥
मराठी मूळ
सांगों जाणती शकुन । भूत भविष्य वर्तमान ॥1॥
त्यांचा आह्मांसी कंटाळा । पाहों नावडती डोळां ॥ध्रु.॥
तुका ह्मणे जाती । पुण्यक्षयें अधोगती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Those who claim to read omens and know the past, present, and future: I am wearied by them and cannot bear to look upon them. Says Tuka, when their store of merit is spent, they sink to the lower realms.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
