Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
तुझें वर्म ठावें । माझ्या पाडियेलें भावें ॥१॥
रूप कासवाचे परी । धरुनि राहेन अंतरीं ॥ध्रु.॥
नेदी होऊं तुटी । मेळवीन दृष्टादृष्टी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे देवा । चिंतन ते तुझी सेवा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I know your weak point, and I have won you over through devotion. Like a tortoise that withdraws its limbs, I will hold your form steadfastly within. I will not let it become anything else; I will not release the grip. Says Tuka, what can the world do now? I have seized the Lord.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
