Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
मारगीं बहुत । या चि गेले साधुसंत ॥१॥
नका जाऊ आडराणें । ऐसीं गर्जती पुराणें ॥ध्रु.॥
चोखाळिल्या वाटा । न लगे पुसाव्या धोपटा ॥२॥
झळकती पताका । गरुड टके म्हणे तुका ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Many saints and holy ones have already traveled this road. The scriptures declare aloud: do not wander off on side paths. The way has already been cleared; there is no need to ask for the broad highway. Banners flutter along the route. Says Tuka, it bears the stamp of the Garuda coin.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
