Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जोडीच्या हव्यासें । लागे धनांचें चि पिसें ॥1॥
मग आणीक दुसरें । लोभ्या नावडती पोरें ॥ध्रु.॥
पाहे रुक्याकडे । मग अवघें ओस पडे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । तुला बहुत चि हेवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
In the frenzy of accumulating, one becomes mad only for wealth. Then a miser does not even care for his own children. He stares only at the coins, and everything else becomes barren. Says Tuka, O God, You have great fondness for hoarding too.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
