Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
चिन्हें उमटताती अंगीं । शकुना जोगीं उत्तम ॥1॥
आठवला बापमाय । येइल काय मूळ नेणों ॥ध्रु.॥
उत्कंठित जालें मन । ते चि खुण तेथींचि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे काम वारीं । आळस घरीं करमेना ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Auspicious signs are appearing on my body, omens of the highest kind. I am remembering my mother and father; I wonder if a message has come to fetch me. The mind has become full of longing; that itself is the sign that it points toward that place. Says Tuka, all work is done; I can no longer pass the time idly at home.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
