Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तैसे नहों आह्मी विठ्ठलाचे दास । यावें आणिकांस काकुलती ॥1॥
स्वामिचिया सत्ता ठेंगणें सकळ । आला किळकाळ हाताखालीं ॥ध्रु.॥
अंकिताचा असे अभिमान देवा । समर्पूनि हेवा असों पायीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मां इच्छेचें खेळणें । कोड नारायणें पुरवावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We who are servants of Vitthal need not beg before anyone else. Under our Master's authority, everything stands humbled; even death itself is under His command. We rest at His feet, surrendering all selfish longing, taking pride only in belonging to Him. Says Tuka, we are His playthings; let Narayana fulfill our every wish.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
