Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नसावें ओशाळ । मग मानिती सकळ ॥1॥
जाय तेथें पावे मान । चाले बोलिलें वचन ॥ध्रु.॥
राहों नेदी बाकी । दान ज्याचें त्यासी टाकी ॥2॥
होवा वाटे जना । तुका ह्मणे साटीं गुणां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One should never have cause for embarrassment; then all will show respect. Wherever such a person goes, he is honored, and his spoken word carries weight. He leaves nothing outstanding; what belongs to each he returns in full. Says Tuka, one should live so that people wish to emulate one's virtues.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
