Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नको बोलों भांडा । खीळ घालुन बैस तोंडा ॥1॥
ऐक विठोबाचे गुण । करीं सादर श्रवण ॥ध्रु.॥
प्रेमसुखा आड । काय वाजातें चाभाड ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हिता । कां रे नागवसी थीता ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Stop your bickering and put a lock on your mouth. Listen to the virtues of Vithoba; lend your ears with reverence. Why do you beat your chatterbox tongue against the bliss of love? Says Tuka, why do you cheat yourself out of your own certain welfare?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
