Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जेणें वाढे अपकीतिऩ । सर्वाथाअ तें वर्जावें ॥1॥
सत्य रुचे भलेपण । वचन तें जगासी ॥ध्रु.॥
होइजेतें शूर त्यागें । वाउगें तें सारावें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे खोटें वर्म । निंद्यकर्म कािळमा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Whatever increases ill repute should be thoroughly avoided. Truthful speech and goodness are what the world values. One should be valiant through renunciation and set aside all that is worthless. Says Tuka, falsehood is a shameful stain, and sinful action brings only darkness.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
