Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
वाराणसी गया पाहिली द्वारका । परी नये तुका पंढरीच्या ॥1॥
पंढरीसी नाहीं कोणा अभिमान । पायां पडे जन एकमेका ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जाय एकवेळ पंढरी । तयाचिये घरीं यम न ये ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have visited Varanasi, Gaya, and Dwaraka, but none can compare to Pandhari. In Pandhari no one holds pride; people bow at one another's feet. Says Tuka, whoever visits Pandhari even once, the lord of death will never come to his door.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
