Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाहातां गोवळी । खाय त्यांची उष्टावळी ॥१॥
करिती नामाचें चिंतन । गडी कान्होबाचें ध्यान ॥ध्रु.॥
आली द्यावी डाई । धांवे वळत्या मागें गाई ॥२॥
एके ठायीं काला । तुका म्हणे भाविकाला ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Look at the cowherd boys: He eats their leftover scraps. They chant the Name and meditate upon Krishna, their companion. When the throw falls against them, He runs behind the straying cows to bring them back. Says Tuka, they sit together in one place for the sacred feast; this is the communion of the devoted.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
