Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
त्यांचिया चरणां माझें दंडवत । ज्यांचें धनवित्त पांडुरंग ॥1॥
येथें माझा जीव पावला विसांवा । ह्मणऊनि हांवा भरलासें ॥ध्रु.॥
चरणींचें रज लावीन कपाळा । जीं पदें राउळा सोइऩ जाती ॥2॥
आणिक तीं भाग्यें येथें कुरवंडी । करूनियां सांडीं इंद्राऐसी ॥3॥
वैष्णवांचे घरीं देवाची वसति । विश्वास हा चित्तीं सत्यभावें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे सखे हरिचे ते दास । आतां पुढें आस नाहीं दुजें ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I bow at the feet of those whose wealth and treasure is Panduranga. Here my jiva has found its rest, and I am filled to overflowing with zeal. I will take the dust of their feet and press it to my forehead, those feet that walk the path to the temple. I would sacrifice even the fortune of Indra and offer it as a tribute to them. In the homes of the Vaishnavas God Himself resides; I hold this conviction with true faith in my chitta. Says Tuka, the friends of Hari are His servants; beyond them I have no further longing.
