मराठी मूळ
ठेवूनियां डोइऩ । पायीं जालों उतराइऩ ॥1॥
कारण तें तुह्मीं जाणां । मी तराळ नारायणा ॥ध्रु.॥
प्रसंगीं वचन । दिलें तें चि खावें अन्न ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भार । तुह्मी जाणां थोडा फार ॥3॥
उपदेश अभंग ॥ 11 ॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having placed my head at Your feet, I have discharged my obligation. You know the reason, O Narayana; I am but a gatekeeper. Whatever food was given at the occasion, that is what should be eaten. Says Tuka, You know whether the burden is great or small.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
