Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बिळवंत आह्मी समर्थाचे दास । घातली या कास किळकाळासी ॥1॥
तेथें मानसाचा कोण आला पाड । उलंघोनि जड गेलों आधीं ॥ध्रु.॥
संसाराचे बळी साधिलें निधान । मारिले दुर्जन षडवर्ग ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे एक उरला धरिता ठाव । येर केले वाव तृणवत ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We are mighty, for we are servants of the Capable One; we have thrown a noose around the neck of Death itself. What can any mortal do before that? We have already crossed beyond the heavy burden. We have conquered the forces of worldly existence and secured the treasure; the six inner enemies have been slain. Says Tuka, only the One who holds the ground remains; all else has been reduced to straw.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
