Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आलें देवाचिया मना । तेथें कोणाचें चालेना ॥1॥
हरिश्चंद्र ताराराणी । वाहे डोंबा घरीं पाणी ॥ध्रु.॥
पांडवांचा साहाकारी। राज्यावरोनि केले दुरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे उगेचि राहा । होइऩल तें सहज पाहा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When God has made up his mind, no one can change it. Harishchandra, king of kings, was made to carry water in the house of a low-caste man. The very one who aided the Pandavas later removed them from their kingdom. Says Tuka, remain quiet and let things unfold naturally; whatever is meant to happen will happen on its own.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
