Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
तुझें वर्म हातीं । दिलें सांगोनियां संतीं ॥1॥
मुखीं नाम धरीन कंठीं । अवघा सांटवीन पोटीं ॥ध्रु.॥
नवविधा वेढिन आधीं । सांपडलासी भावसंधी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बिळये गाढे । किळकाळ पायां पडे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The saints have revealed Your secret to me. I will hold the Name on my lips and in my throat, and store You entirely within my chitta. I will first surround You with the nine forms of devotion; You have been caught in the trap of love. Says Tuka, O mighty Lord, even Death falls at Your feet.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
