Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पैल दिसतील भार । दिंडी पताका अपार ॥1॥
आला पंढरीचा राणा । दिसतील त्याच्या खुणा ।
सुख वाटे मना । डोळे बाहएा स्फुरती ॥ध्रु.॥
उठिले गजर नामाचे । दळभार वैष्णवांचे ॥2॥
तुका करी रिता ठाव । त्यांसी बैसावया वाव ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Look, the processions appear in the distance: palanquins and banners beyond number. The king of Pandhari has come; his signs are visible. Joy fills the mind, and the eyes and arms thrill with delight. The roar of the divine name rises; the armies of Vaishnavas advance. Says Tuka, I clear a space for them all to sit.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
