Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
निंदावें हें जग । ऐसा भागा आला भाग ॥1॥
होतें तैसें आलें फळ । गेलें निवडूनि सकळ ॥ध्रु.॥
दुसयाच्या मता । मिळेनासें जालें चित्ता ॥2॥
तुका जाला सांडा । विटंबिती पोरें रांडा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world is bound to criticize; such is the share that fate has allotted. The fruit has come exactly as it was sown, and everything has been sifted out. My mind can no longer agree with the opinions of others. Says Tuka, I have been discarded; even women and children mock me.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
