Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
येणें मागॉ आले । त्यांचें निसंतान केलें ॥1॥
ऐसी अवघड वाट । कोणा सांगावा बोभाट ॥ध्रु.॥
नागविल्या थाटी । उरों नेदी च लंगोटी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे चोर । तो हा उभा कटिकर ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Those who came this way before were left with nothing at all. So treacherous is this path; to whom can one cry out? He strips the traveler bare, not even leaving a loincloth. Says Tuka, that thief stands right there, hands on His hips.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
