Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
माउलीची चाली लेंकराचे ओढी । तयालागीं काढी प्राणें प्रीती ॥1॥
ऐसी बिळवंत आवडी जी देवा । संतमहानुभावा विनवितों ॥ध्रु.॥
मोहें मोहियेलें सर्वकाळ चित्त । विसरु तो घेत नाहीं क्षणें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे दिला प्रेमाचा वोरस । सांभािळलें दास आपुलें तें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A mother's nature is to be drawn toward her child, and she would give her very life out of love for it. I pray to the saints and great souls for such powerful devotion toward God. The mind is enchanted with love at all times and does not forget even for a moment. Says Tuka, the Lord has given the gift of love and has protected His own servant.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Prayers
Direct appeals to God: for protection, guidance, strength, and mercy.
