Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
उद्धत त्या जाती । द्रवें रंगल्या उद्धती ॥1॥
ह्मणऊनि बहु फार । त्यांसी असावें अंतर ॥ध्रु.॥
कैंचें पाठी पोट । गोडविषासी सेवट ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सापा । न कळे कुरवािळलें बापा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The arrogant grow worse with intoxication. Therefore one should keep a great distance from them. There is no loyalty in them; sweet poison always ends badly. Says Tuka, one does not know whether a snake has been petted or provoked.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
