Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जळों त्याचें तोंड । ऐसी कां ते व्याली रांड ॥1॥
सदा भोवयासी गांठी । क्रोध धडधडीत पोटीं ॥ध्रु.॥
फोडिली गोंवरी। ऐसी दिसे तोंडावरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं । चित्ता समाधान कांहीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Cursed be that face; why did his mother bring forth such a one? His brows are always knotted in a frown; anger smolders ceaselessly in his belly. He looks as though he has broken out in a rash, his face covered with it. Says Tuka, such a person's mind never knows even a moment of peace.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
