Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सुंदर तें ध्यान उभे विटेवरी । कर कटावरी ठेवूनियां ॥१॥
तुळसीचे हार गळां कासे पीतांबर । आवडे निरंतर तें चि रूप ॥ध्रु.॥
मकरकुंडलें तळपती श्रवणीं । कंठीं कौस्तुभमणि विराजित ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे माझें हें चि सर्व सुख । पाहीन श्रीमुख आवडीनें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Beautiful, that meditative vision: he stands upon the brick, hands placed on his hips. Garlands of tulsi around his neck, yellow silk at his waist; that form alone pleases me ceaselessly. Makara earrings flash at his ears, the Kaustubha gem shines at his throat. Tuka says, this is my entire happiness: to gaze with love upon that blessed face.
