Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आइका माझीं कवतुकउत्तरें । देउनी सादरें चित्त देवा॥1॥
वोरसें आवडी आलों पायापासीं । होय तें मनेसीं सुख कीजे ॥ध्रु.॥
तुमचें न भंगे सवाौत्तमपण । करितां समाधान लेंकराचें॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जरी बोलतों बोबडें । तरी वाडे कोडें कवतुक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Hear my playful words, O God, and give them Your attentive chitta. I have come to Your feet out of love and affection. Whatever brings You joy, let that bring joy to my mind as well. Your supreme excellence is not diminished by satisfying the wish of a child. Says Tuka, even if I speak in a babbling way, the delight of this playful devotion only grows.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
