गाथा 1804Devotion to Vitthal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

लटिका चि केला । सोंग पसारा दाविला ॥1॥

अवघा बुडालासी ॠणें । बहुतांचे देणें घेणें ॥ध्रु.॥

लावियेलीं चाळा। बहू दावूनि पुतळा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे हात । आह्मी अवरिली मात ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

It was all a pretense; the whole display was just a show. You are drowned in debts, with borrowings and lendings on every side. You dangled temptations and showed off Your image to lure people in. Says Tuka, we have caught on; we have put a stop to this game.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
