Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
ॠणाच्या परिहारा जालों वोळगणा । द्यावी नारायणा वासलाती ॥1॥
जालों उतराइऩ शरीरसंकल्पें । चुकों द्यावीं पापें सकळ ही ॥ध्रु.॥
आजिवरि होतों धरूनि जिवासी । व्याजें कासाविसी बहु केलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मना आणिला म्यां भाव । तुमचा तेथें ठाव आहे देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To repay my debt, I have entered Your service; grant me relief, O Narayana. Through the offering of this body I have become free of obligation; let all past sins be forgiven. Until now I was clinging to life, and that usurious grip caused me great distress. Says Tuka, I have brought devotion into my chitta; Your place is right there, O God.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
