Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
ऐसीं वर्में आह्मां असोनियां हातीं । कां होऊं नेणतीं दिशाभुली ॥1॥
पोटाळुनी पाय कवळीन उभा । कृपे पद्मनाभा हालों नेदीं ॥ध्रु.॥
आपुले इच्छेसी घालीन संपुष्टीं । श्रीमुख तें दृष्टी न्याहाळीन ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बहु सांडियेलीं मतें । आपुल्या पुरतें धरुनी ठेलों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When such secrets are already in our hands, why should we become confused and lose our way? I shall clasp Your feet in an embrace and not let You move, O Padmanabha, O gracious one. I shall set aside my own desires and gaze steadily at Your blessed face. Says Tuka, I have abandoned many doctrines and hold firmly only to what suffices for me.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
