Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय मी जाणता । तुह्मांहुनि अनंता ॥1॥
जो हा करूं अतिशय । कां तुह्मां दया नये ॥ध्रु.॥
काय तुज नाहीं कृपा । विश्वाचिया मायबापा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वाणी । माझी वदे तुह्मांहुनि॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What do I know more than You, O Infinite One? When I make this excess of effort, does compassion not stir in You? Do You lack mercy, O Mother and Father of the world? Says Tuka, my tongue speaks more boldly than You do.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
