Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
ऐशा भाग्यें जालों । तरी धन्य जन्मा आलों ॥1॥
रुळें तळीले पायरी । संत पाय देती वरी ॥ध्रु.॥
प्रेमामृतपान । होइऩल चरणरजें स्नान ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सुखें । तया हरतील दुःखें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If such fortune comes to me, then indeed this birth is blessed. Like the bottom step that lies worn under foot, upon which the saints place their holy feet. The nectar of love will flow, and the dust of their feet will become my bath. Says Tuka, in their happiness, they will take away all my sorrows.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
