Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाचारितां धावे । ऐसी ठायींची हे सवे ॥1॥
बोले करुणा वचनीं । करी कृपा लावी स्तनीं ॥ध्रु.॥
जाणे कळवळा । भावसिद्धींचा जिव्हाळा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाम । मागें मागें धांवे प्रेम॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When called, He comes running; that is His nature from the very beginning. He speaks words of compassion, He bestows grace, He nurses like a mother. He knows the innermost yearning, the living warmth of a devotion fulfilled from within. Says Tuka, when the Name is uttered, love comes running close behind.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
