Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
सुनियांचा हा चि भाव । आपला ठाव राखावा ॥1॥
दुजियाचा येऊं वारा । नेदूं घरावरी देऊं ॥ध्रु.॥
केली याची फाडाफाडी। तडामोडी क्षेत्राची ॥2॥
पातेजत नाहीं लोकां । तुका देवावांचूनि॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The nature of a watchdog is to guard its master's ground. Do not let the wind of another's influence blow over this house. It has been marked and bounded; the territory has been staked out with clear lines. Says Tuka, I trust no one in this world except God.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
