Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जिचें पीडे बाळ । प्राण तयेचा विकळ ॥1॥
ऐसा मातेचा स्वभाव । सूत्र दोरी एक जीव ॥ध्रु.॥
सुखाची विश्रांती । उमटे मातेचिये चित्तीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे संत । तुह्मी बहु कृपावंत ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When her child suffers, the mother's very life is shaken. Such is a mother's nature; her life is strung on the same thread as the child's. When the child rests happily, that peace is reflected in the mother's chitta. Says Tuka, O saints, you are just as boundlessly compassionate.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
