Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बहुत कृपाळु दीनाचा दयाळु । जगीं भHवत्सळु नाम तुझें ॥1॥
मानियेला चित्तीं बळीचा उपकार । अझूनि त्याचें द्वार राखसील ॥ध्रु.॥
काय त्याच्या भेणें बैसलासी द्वारीं । नाहीं तुज हरि कृपा बहु ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भHजनाची ममता । तुह्मांसी अनंता अलोलिक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Most compassionate, merciful to the lowly, Your name in the world is the Lover of Devotees. You valued the offering of Bali so deeply that even now You stand guard at his door. Are You bound there out of fear of him, or is it that Your mercy knows no bounds, O Hari? Says Tuka, Your love for Your devotees, O Ananta, is truly extraordinary.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
