Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाहा कैसेकैसे । देवें उद्धरिले आनयासें ॥1॥
ऐका नवल्याची ठेव । नेणतां भिHभाव ॥ध्रु.॥
कैलासासी नेला । भिल्ल पानेडी बैसला ॥2॥
पांखांच्या फडत्कारीं । उद्धरुनी नेली घारी ॥3॥
खेचरें पिंडी दिला पाव । त्या पूजनें धाये देव ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे भोळा । स्वामी माझा हो कोंवळा ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
See how God has effortlessly delivered so many. Hear this treasure of wonder: even without knowing devotion, they were saved. A tribal hunter who simply sat offering leaves was taken to Kailasa. A hawk was delivered by the flapping of its wings. A bird offered a morsel from its body, and God was pleased by that worship. Says Tuka, my Lord is tender and innocent.
