Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाठी लागे तया दवडीं दुरी । घालीं या बाहेरी संवसारा ॥1॥
येउनि दडें तुमच्या पायीं । धांवें तइप छो ह्मणा ॥ध्रु.॥
पारखियाचा वास पडे । खटबड उठी तें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे लाविला धाक । नेदी ताक खाऊं कोणी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When worldly life pursues me, I drive it away and cast it out. I come running to Your feet; then say to me, Hush, be at ease. When a stranger's presence is sensed, the watchdog leaps up in alarm. Says Tuka, he has set up such a guard that he will not let anyone even touch the buttermilk.
