Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
 लाभ पुढें करी । घात नारायण वारी ॥1॥
 ऐसी भHाची माउली । करी कृपेची साउली ॥ध्रु.॥
 माय बाळकासी । जीव भाव वेची तैसी ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे नाड । नाहीं शरणागता आड ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Narayana places gain before His devotees and wards off their harm. Such is the mother-love of devotion; He shelters them in the shade of His grace. As a mother gives her very life and jiva for her child, so does He. Says Tuka, there is no obstacle that can bar the way of one who has surrendered.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
