Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
अनंत ब्रह्मांडें । एके रोमीं ऐसें धेंडें ॥1॥
तो या गौिळयांचे घरीं । उंबरा चढतां टेंका धरी ॥ध्रु.॥
मारी दैत्य गाडे । ज्यांचे पुराणीं पवाडे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कळा । अंगीं जयाच्या सकळा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Infinite universes rest on a single hair of His body, like a tiny ball. Yet this same Lord, in the home of cowherd folk, clings to the threshold as He tries to climb over it. He slays mighty demons whose great deeds fill the Puranas. Says Tuka, all powers reside within His being.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
