Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
लांब धांवे पाय चोरी । भरोवरी जनाच्या ॥1॥
आतां कैसें होय याचें । सिजतां काचें राहिलें ॥ध्रु.॥
खाय ओकी वेळोवेळां । कैसी कळा राहेल ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भावहीण । त्याचा सीण पाचावा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Feet run far to steal from others, creating turmoil among the people. Now what will become of this, when the uncooked remains raw? One eats and vomits again and again; how can any skill endure? Says Tuka, one devoid of devotion must face the grinding consequences.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
