Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तरुवर बीजा पोटीं । बीज तरुवरा सेवटीं ॥1॥
तैसें तुह्मां आह्मां जालें । एकीं एक सामावलें ॥ध्रु.॥
उदकावरील तरंग।तरंग उदकाचें अंग ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बिंबच्छाया । ठायीं पावली विलया॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The tree lies within the seed, and the seed is found at the end of the tree. So it is between You and us; one is contained within the other. The wave rises upon the water; the wave is the very limb of the water. Says Tuka, the reflection has merged back into the original; the image and its source have become one.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
