Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
तुझिया पाळणा ओढे माझें मन । गेलों विसरोन देहभाव ॥1॥
लागला पालट फेडणें उसणें । येणें चि प्रमाणें पांडुरंगा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझा जीव जैसा ओढे । तैसा चि तिकडे पाहिजेल ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My mind is drawn toward Your cradle, and I have forgotten all sense of the body. The debt must be repaid in return, O Panduranga, in this very manner. Says Tuka, just as my jiva yearns for You, so must the same longing come from Your side.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
