Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
वैकुंठा जावया तपाचे सायास । करणें जीवा नास न लगे कांहीं ॥१॥
तया पुंडलिकें केला उपकार । फेडावया भार पृथीवीचा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे सोपी केली पायवाट । पंढरी वैकुंठ भूमीवरी ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To reach Vaikuntha there is no need for the ordeals of penance or for destroying one's body. Pundalik rendered that great service to relieve the burden of the earth. Says Tuka, he made the footpath easy: Pandharpur is Vaikuntha right here on the ground.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
