Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
चित्त घेऊनियां तू काय देसी । ऐसें मजपासीं सांग आधीं ॥1॥
तरि च पंढरिराया करिन साटोवाटी । नेघें जया तुटी येइऩल तें ॥ध्रु.॥
रििद्धसििद्ध कांहीं दाविसी अभिळास । नाहीं मज आस मुHीची ही ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुझें माझें घडे तर । भHीचा भाव रे देणें घेणें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If You take my chitta, tell me first what You will give in return. Only then, O Lord of Pandhari, will I make this exchange; I will not accept a deal that leads to loss. If You dangle riches and powers before me, know that I have no desire even for liberation. Says Tuka, if a true bond is to form between You and me, let devotion be the only currency of giving and receiving.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
