Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
जेथें माझी दृिष्ट राहिली बैसोन । तेथें चि हें मन गुंडाळातें ॥1॥
टाळावी ते पीडा आपुल्यापासून । दिठावेलें अन्न ओकवितें ॥ध्रु.॥
तुम्हांसी कां कोडें कोणे ही विशीचें । नवलाव याचें वाटतसे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वेगीं उभारा जी कर । कीर्त मुखें थोर गर्जइऩन ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where my gaze has settled and sat down, there my mind wraps itself around. The remedy for this ache lies with You alone; food that has been stared at makes one queasy. Why should any spectacle surprise You or strike You as novel? Says Tuka, quickly raise Your hand on high, and I will proclaim Your glory with a thundering voice.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
