Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जेथें लIमीचा वास । गंगा आली पापा नास ॥1॥
तें म्यां हृदयीं धरिलें । तापें हरण पाउलें ॥ध्रु.॥
सेवा केली संतजनीं। सुखें राहिले लपोनि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वांकी । भाट जाली तिहीं लोकीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where Lakshmi dwells, there the Ganga comes to destroy sins. I have held that in my heart, and my afflictions have been relieved. The saints have served, and joys have remained hidden within them. Says Tuka, the path has been cleared across all three worlds.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
संत
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
