Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
हरिकथेची आवडी देवा । करितो सेवा दासांची॥1॥
ह्मणोनि हिंडे मागें मागें । घरटी जागे घालितसे ॥ध्रु.॥
निर्लज्ज भोजें नाचत रंगीं । भरतें अंगीं प्रेमाचें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विकलें देवें। आपण भावें संवसाटी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
God Himself loves the recital of Hari's stories and renders service to His own devotees. That is why He wanders after them, keeping vigil at every doorstep. Shameless and joyful, He dances in the gathering as waves of love fill His being. Says Tuka, God has sold Himself; devotion has won Him over as a companion.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
