Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जालों बिळवंत । होऊनियां शरणागत ॥1॥
केला घरांत रिघावा । ठायीं पाडियेला ठेवा ॥ध्रु.॥
हाता चढे धन । ऐसें रचलें कारण ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मिठी । पायीं देउनि केली लुटी॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have become mighty by becoming a surrendered one. I gained entry into His home and found the treasure exactly where it was kept. Wealth that comes easily into one's hands: such is the arrangement He has made. Says Tuka, I embraced His feet and plundered the entire store.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
शरणागति
