Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
माझे पाय तुझी डोइऩ । ऐसें करिं गा भाक देइप ॥1॥
पाहतां तंव उफराटें । घडे तइऩ भाग्य मोठें ॥ध्रु.॥
बहु साधन मोलाच। यासी जोडा दुजें कैचें ॥2॥
नका अनमानूं विठ्ठला । तुका ह्मणे धडा जाला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Place my feet upon Your head; give me such a promise. Looking closely, it appears reversed, yet in that reversal great fortune is found. This is the most precious of all spiritual practices; what else could match it? Says Tuka, do not hesitate, O Vitthal; the lesson has been learned.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
