Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
क्षेम मायबाप पुसेन हें आधीं । न घलीं हें मधीं सुख दुःख ॥1॥
न करीं तांतडी आपणांपासूनि । आइकेन कानीं सांगतीं तें ॥ध्रु.॥
अंतरींचें संत जाणतील गूज । निरोप तो मज सांगतील॥2॥
पायांवरी डोइऩ ठेवीन आदरें । प्रीतिपडिभरें आिंळगून ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे काया करीन कुरवंडी । ओवाळून सांडीं त्यांवरून ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
First I will ask after my Father and Mother; I will not let joy or sorrow come between. I will not hurry on my own account but listen patiently to whatever they tell. The saints will know the inner secret; they will bring me the true message. I will bow my head at their feet with love and embrace them tenderly. Says Tuka, I will offer my body as a sacrifice, waving it over them in adoration.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
