Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
 तुज दिला देह । आजूनि वागवितों भय ॥1॥
 ऐसा विश्वासघातकी । घडली कळतां हे चुकी ॥ध्रु.॥
 बोलतों जें तोंडें । नाहीं अनुभविलें लंडें ॥2॥
 दंड लाहें केला । तुका ह्मणे जी विठ्ठला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I surrendered this body to You, yet I still carry fear within. When I see the extent of this betrayal of trust, I recognize my error. What I speak with my mouth, I have not truly experienced or embodied. Says Tuka, I have earned this punishment rightly, O Vitthal.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
पाप बोध
Confession and Sin
Raw, unflinching accounts of personal failure, weakness, and the weight of sin.
