Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
स्तवूनियां नरा । केला आयुष्याचा मातेरा ॥1॥
नारायणचिया लोपें । घडलीं अवघीं चि पापें ॥ध्रु.॥
जीव ज्याचें दान। त्याचा खंडूनियां मान ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वाणी । आइके त्या दोष कानीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By flattering mortals, he has squandered his life. By neglecting Narayana, he has earned nothing but sin. He dishonors the very one who gave him the gift of life. Says Tuka, the tongue that speaks such words pours sin into its own ears.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
