Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तेणें सुखें माझें निवालें अंग । विठ्ठल हें जग देखियेलें ॥1॥
कवतुकें करुणा भाकीतसें लाडें । आवडी बोबडें बोलोनियां ॥ध्रु.॥
मज नाहीं दशा अंतरीं दुःखाची । भावना भेदाची समूळ गेली ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सुख जालें माझ्या जीवा । रंगलें केशवा तुझ्या रंगे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By that bliss my whole being has been cooled. I see the world as Vitthal. With tender love I make my playful plea, speaking in the lisping language of a child. There is no trace of sorrow within me; the very notion of difference has been uprooted entirely. Says Tuka, joy has filled my jiva; it has been dyed in Your color, O Keshava.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Ecstasy and Joy
Triumphant happiness: poems written from the far side of the struggle.
