Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
द्वितीया सोमवासरीं प्रथमप्रहरीं तुकोबा गुप्त जाले ॥1॥
जाती पंढरीस । ह्मणे जाइपन तयांस ॥1॥
तया आहे संवसार । ऐसें बोले तो माहार ॥ध्रु.॥
असो नसो भाव । जो हा देखे पंढरिराव ॥2॥
चंद्रभागे न्हाती । तुका ह्मणे भलते याती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
On the second day of the dark half of Phalguna, in the first watch, on a Monday, in the Virodhi year of Shake 1571, Tukoba became invisible. Those who go to Pandhari, I say, go to them. Even one with worldly ties speaks thus, says the lowliest among men. Whether devotion is present or not, whoever beholds the Lord of Pandhari is blessed. Says Tuka, whoever bathes in the Chandrabhaga, of whatever caste, is purified.
