Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जया शिरीं कारभार । बुिद्ध सार तयाची ॥1॥
वर्ते तैसें वर्ते जन । बहुतां गुण एकाचा ॥ध्रु.॥
आपणीयां पाक करी । तो इतरीं सेविजे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे शूर राखे । गाढएा वाखेसांगातें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The one upon whose head rests responsibility, his wisdom is what counts. As the leader acts, so follow the people; the qualities of one shape the many. One who cooks the meal provides for all who partake of it. Says Tuka, a hero protects even the cowardly who march alongside him.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
