Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मथनीचें नवनीत । सर्व हितकारक ॥1॥
दंडवत दंडा परी । मागें उरी नुरावी ॥ध्रु.॥
वचनाचा तो पसरुं काइऩ । तांतडी डोइऩपाशींच ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जगजेठी । लावीं कंठीं उचलूनि ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The butter obtained from churning is beneficial to all. Let my prostration be like the churning rod, leaving nothing held back. Why spread out more words when the urgency is right here at hand? Says Tuka, O Lord of the world, lift me up and place me at Your throat.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
