Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कळों आलें ऐसें आतां । नाहीं सत्ता तुह्मांसी ॥1॥
तरी वीर्य नाहीं नामा । जातो प्रेमा खंडत ॥ध्रु. ॥
आड ऐसें येतें पाप। वाढे ताप आगळा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे गुण जाला । हा विठ्ठला हीनशिH ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Now I perceive that You lack the power to help. Your name has lost its potency; the stream of love runs dry. Sin comes as an obstacle, and suffering grows greater still. Says Tuka, this Vitthal seems to have grown weak in strength.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
