Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
कंठीं धरिला कृष्णमणी । अवघा जनीं प्रकाश ॥१॥
काला वांटूं एकमेकां । वैष्णवा निका संभ्रम ॥ध्रु.॥
वांकुलिया ब्रम्हादिकां । उत्तम लोकां दाखवूं ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे भूमंडळीं । आम्ही बळी वीर गाडे ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We have fastened the Krishna-jewel at our throats, and its light plays everywhere among the people. Let us share the feast with one another; what a splendid gathering of Vaishnavas this is. We shall show playful gestures even to Brahma and the highest beings. Says Tuka, upon the face of this earth, we are mighty warriors, strong and invincible.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
