Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
हरिकथे नाहीं । विश्वास ज्याचे ठायीं ॥1॥
त्याची वाणी अमंगळ । कान उंदराचें बीळ ॥ध्रु.॥
सांडुनि हा रस । करिती आणीक सायास ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पिसीं । वांयां गेलीं किती ऐसीं॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who has no faith in Hari's story has a tongue that is impure. His ears are like the burrows of mice. Abandoning this nectar, they pursue other vain endeavors. Says Tuka, how many such mad ones have gone to waste in this way.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
