Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
लोक फार वाखा अमंगळ जाला । त्याचा त्याग केला पांडुरंगा ॥1॥
विषयां वंचलों मीपणा मुकलों । शरण तुज आलों पांडुरंगा ॥ध्रु.॥
घर दार अवघीं तजिलीं नारायणा । जीवींच्या जीवना पांडुरंगा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पडिलों पुंडलिकापाशीं । धांव हृषीकेशी आिंळगीं मज ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world has grown foul and inauspicious, so I have renounced it, O Panduranga. I have forsaken sense pleasures, given up my ego, and come to Your shelter, O Panduranga. I have abandoned home and family, O Narayana, O life of my life, Panduranga. Says Tuka, I have fallen at Pundalik's feet. Rush to me, O Hrishikeshi, and embrace me.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Renunciation
The case for letting go of worldly attachments and turning wholly to God.
