Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
सख्यत्वासी गेलों करीत सलगी । नेणें चि अभागी महिमा तुझा ॥1॥
पावलों आपुलें केलें लाहें रास । निद।वां परिस काय होय ॥ध्रु.॥
कष्टविलासी म्यां चांडाळें संसारीं । अद्यापिवरि तरि उपदेशीं ॥2॥
उचित अनुचित सांभािळलें नाहीं । कान्हा ह्मणे कांहीं बोलों आतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I presumed upon friendship and took liberties with You, not knowing, unfortunate as I am, the depth of Your greatness. I have received what I deserved; how can I blame the touchstone for my own failings? I, a wretch, have burdened You with worldly toils. Even so, You continue to instruct me. Says Kanha, what more can I say about what is fitting and what is not?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
