Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
उदार तूं हरी ऐसी कीतिऩ चराचरीं । अनंत हे थोरी गर्जतील पवाडे ॥1॥
मागणें तें तुज मागों जीवभाव तुज सांगों । लागों तरी लागों पायां तुमच्या दातारा ॥2॥
दिसों देसी कीविलवाणें तरी तुज चि हें उणें । तुका ह्मणे जिणें माझें तुज अधीन ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You are generous, O Hari; this fame resounds throughout all creation. Your endless glory thunders forth in songs of praise. What I ask of You, I ask with my whole being; what I tell You, I tell from the depths of my jiva. If I am to cling to anything, let me cling to Your feet, O Benefactor. If I appear pitiable, that shortcoming is Yours, not mine. Says Tuka, my life is subject to You.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
