Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
खोटएाचा विकरा । येथें नव्हे कांच हिरा ॥1॥
काय दावायाचें काम । उगा च वाढवावा श्रम ॥ध्रु.॥
परीक्षकाविण । मिरवों जाणों तें तें हीण ॥2॥
तुका पायां पडे । वाद पुरे हे झगडे॥3॥ ॥2॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
There is no sale for the false here; glass cannot pass for diamond. What is the point of showing off and increasing toil for nothing? To parade without an examiner is to display what is inferior. Says Tuka, I fall at Your feet; enough of these quarrels and disputes.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
पाप बोध
Confession and Sin
Raw, unflinching accounts of personal failure, weakness, and the weight of sin.
