Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आपुलिया काजा । आह्मीं सांडियेलें लाजा ॥1॥
तुह्मां असों जागवीत । आपुलें आपुले हित ॥ध्रु.॥
तुह्मी देहशून्य। आह्मां कळे पाप पुण्य ॥2॥
सांगायासी लोकां । उरउरीत उरला तुका ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For my own sake, I have cast aside all shame. I remain only to keep you awake to your own welfare. You are oblivious to the body's transience; I am the one who recognizes merit and sin. Says Tuka, I have stayed behind solely to tell the people what must be told.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
