Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
देह प्रारब्धा शिरीं । असोन करी उद्वेग ॥1॥
धांव घालीं नारायणा । माझ्या मना जागवीं ॥ध्रु.॥
ऐसी चुकोनियां वर्में। पीडा भ्रमें पावलों ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कैंचा भोग । नव्हे रोग अंगींचा॥3॥
अनंताच्या ऐकों कीर्ती । ज्याच्या चित्तीं हरिनाम ।
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The body rests upon destiny's head, yet still one creates needless agitation. Rush to me, O Narayana; awaken my mind. Having missed the vital secret, I have suffered under the torment of delusion. Says Tuka, what suffering is this? It is no true disease of the body. Let us hear the glory of Ananta, in whose heart dwells the name of Hari.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
