Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आह्मी विठ्ठलाचे दास जालों आतां । न चले हे सत्ता आणिकांची ॥1॥
नावरे तयासी ऐसें नाहीं दुजें । करितां पंढरिराजें काय नव्हे ॥ध्रु.॥
कोठें तुज ठाव घ्यावयासी धांवा । मना तूं विसावा घेइऩ आतां ॥2॥
इंिद्रयांची वोढी मोडिला व्यापार । ज्या अंगें संचार चाळी तुज ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मी जिंकोनियां काळ । बैसलों निश्चळ होऊनियां ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have become a servant of Vitthal now, and no other power holds sway over me. There is nothing that can overpower the one whom the Lord of Pandhari protects. Where will you run to take refuge, O mind? Rest now and take your ease. The pull of the senses has been broken and their activity has ceased. The very force that once drove you now obeys a different master. Says Tuka, we have conquered death itself and sit immovable and still.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Ecstasy and Joy
