Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
सत्या माप वाढे । गबाळाची चाली खोडे ॥1॥
उतरे तें कळें कसी । विखरोणें सर्वदेशीं ॥ध्रु.॥
घरामध्ये राजा । नव्हे हो वा पाटपूजा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे साचें । रूप तें दर्पणाचें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The measure of truth keeps growing, while the counterfeit walks crookedly. What survives the test is known on every shore and throughout every land. A king within his own house needs no ceremony to prove his throne. Says Tuka, the mirror gives back the true face.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
