Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
देह तंव आहे प्रारब्धा अधीन । याचा मी कां सीण वाहूं भार ॥1॥
लाभ तो न दिसे याहूनि दुसरा । आणीक दातारा येणें जन्में ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आलों सोसीत संकटें । मी माझें वोखटें आहे देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This body is subject to its destined fate. Why should I bear the burden of worrying about it? I see no greater gain than this in any other birth, O generous Lord. Says Tuka, I have come enduring many hardships. I and my pitiable ways are before You, O God.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
