Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Now this alone is my work: to remember Rama, Rama with my tongue. This moment is precious; let me hold fast to my love for His feet. The tongue is a mine of nectar; let me spend my speech only there. Says Tuka, O Panduranga, O dearest beloved of my jiva.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
