Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
पाणिपात्र दिगांबरा । हस्त करा सारिखे ॥1॥
आवश्यक देव मनीं । चिंतनींच सादर ॥ध्रु.॥
भिक्षा कामधेनुऐशी । अवकाशीं शयन ॥2॥
पांघरोनि तुका दिशा ॥ केला वास अलक्षीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
With cupped hands as my vessel, naked as the sky, my hands made alike. God alone in my mind, and I am absorbed in contemplation. Begging is my Kamadhenu, and the open sky is my bed. Says Tuka, wrapping the directions around me as a shawl, I have made my home in the invisible.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
