Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नाहीं मज कृपा केली पांडुरंगें । संताचिया संगें पोट भरीं ॥1॥
चतुराचे सभे पंडित कुशळ । मी काय दुर्बळ विष्णुदास॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नेणें करूं समाधान । धरिले चरण विठोबाचे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Panduranga has not shown me His grace; I fill my belly in the company of saints. In the assembly of the clever, among scholars and learned ones, am I not also a servant of Vishnu, however poor? Says Tuka, I do not know how to find contentment; I have simply held fast to the feet of Vithoba.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
