Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जीवींचें कां नेणां । परि हे आवडी नारायणा ॥1॥
वाढवावें हें उत्तर । कांहीं लाज करकर ॥ध्रु.॥
कोठें वांयां गेले । शब्द उत्तम चांगले ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बाळा । असतात िप्रय खेळा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do You not know what is in my chitta? Yet this is my love for You, O Narayana. Please extend this conversation; I feel some hesitation and awkwardness. Where have all those beautiful and excellent words gone? Says Tuka, children are always dear when they are at play.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
