Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
असें येथींचिया दिनें । भाग्यहीन सकळां ॥1॥
भांडवल एवढें गांठी । नाम कंठीं धरियेलें ॥ध्रु.॥
आणिक तें दुजें कांहीं । मज नाहीं यावरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केली कोणें । एवढा नेणें लौकिक ॥3॥

English Translation
By the standards of this world, I am unfortunate and poor among all. My only capital is the Name held at my throat. Beyond this, I have nothing else. Says Tuka, who has arranged even this small measure of worldly repute for me? I do not know.
