Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
काय तुझे उपकार पांडुरंगा । सांगों मी या जगामाजी आतां ॥1॥
जतन हें माझें करूनि संचित । दिलें अवचित आणूनियां॥ध्रु.॥
घडल्या दोषांचें न घली च भरी । आली यास थोरी कृपा देवा ॥2॥
नव्हतें ठाउकें आइकिलें नाहीं । न मगतां पाहीं दान दिलें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे याच्या उपकारासाटीं । नाहीं माझें गाठीं कांहीं एंक ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How shall I describe Your favors to the world, O Panduranga? You carefully preserved my store of merit and then placed it unexpectedly before me. You do not add to the account of sins already committed; great is this mercy, O God. I had never known of it, had never even heard of it; yet without my asking, the gift was given. Says Tuka, I have nothing in my own possession with which to repay this kindness.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
