Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
मागायास गेलों सिदोरी । तुझ्या मायाघरीं गांजियेलों ॥१॥
तुजविणें ते नेदी कोणा । सांगतां खुणा जिवें गेलों ॥ध्रु.॥
वांयांविण केली येरझार । आतां पुरे घर तुझी माया ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे तूं आम्हां वेगळा । राहें गोपाळा म्हणउनी ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I went to ask for a packed lunch at your mother's house and was harassed there. Without you, she would not give it to anyone. When I tried to explain the situation, I nearly lost my life. This back and forth was all in vain; enough of your mother's home and your Maya's ways. Says Tuka, you stay separate from us, cowherd boy, and that is that.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
