Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पवित्र होइऩन चरित्रउच्चारें । रूपाच्या आधारें गोजिरिया ॥1॥
आपुरती बुिद्ध पुण्य नाहीं गांठी । पायीं घालीं मिठी पाहें डोळां ॥ध्रु.॥
गाइऩन ओविया शिष्टांच्या आधारें । सारीन विचारें आयुष्या या ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुझें नाम नारायणा । ठेवीन मी मना आपुलिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I shall become pure by reciting your beautiful story and resting upon the support of your lovely form. I have no wisdom or merit of my own; I simply embrace your feet and gaze at you with my eyes. I will sing verses in the tradition of the noble ones, and spend this life in thoughtful reflection. Says Tuka, O Narayana, I will place your name within my own mind.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
