Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
करूं स्तुती तरि ते निंदा । तुह्मी जाणां हे गोविंदा॥1॥
आह्मां लडिवाळांचे बोल । करा कवतुकें नवल ॥ध्रु.॥
बोबडएा उत्तरीं । तुह्मा रंजवितों हरी ॥2॥
मागतों भातुकें । तुका ह्मणे कवतुकें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If we attempt to praise You, even that becomes insufficient, O Govinda, as You already know. Take the babbling words of us, Your playful children, as a charming wonder. With stammering speech I try to please You, O Hari. Says Tuka, like a child, I beg for trinkets with innocent delight.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
