Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल हा चित्तीं । गोड लागे गातां गीतीं ॥1॥
आह्मां विठ्ठल जीवन । टाळ चिपिळया धन ॥ध्रु.॥
विठ्ठल हे वाणी। अमृत हे संजिवनी ॥2॥
रंगला या रंगें । तुका विठ्ठल सर्वांगें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Vitthal dwells sweetly in the chitta and tastes delightful when sung in song. Vitthal is our very life; cymbals and clappers are our only wealth. The word Vitthal on the tongue is nectar, a life-restoring elixir. Says Tuka, I am dyed through and through in this color of Vitthal, in every limb.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
