Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
काय माझें नेती वाइऩट ह्मणोन । करूं समाधान कशासाटीं ॥1॥
काय मज लोक नेती परलोका । जातां कोणा एका निवारेल ॥ध्रु.॥
न ह्मणें कोणासी उत्तम वाइऩट । सुखें माझी कूट खावो मागें ॥2॥
सर्व माझा भार असे पांडुरंगा । काय माझें जगासवें काज ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे माझें सर्व ही साधन । नामसंकीर्त्तन विठोबाचें ॥4॥
देवांनीं स्वामींस चिंचवडास नेलें होतें ते अभंग, आरत्या ॥ 13 ॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What will people take from me by calling me wicked? Why should I seek anyone's approval? People cannot take me to the afterlife; when the time comes, no one can prevent my going. I call no one good or bad; let them freely criticize me behind my back. My entire burden rests upon Panduranga; what business have I with the world? Says Tuka, my one and only practice is the chanting of Vithoba's Name.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
