Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
किडा अन्नाचें मानुस । त्याचा ह्मणविल्या दास॥1॥
तें ही त्यासी उपेक्षीना । बोल आपुला सांडीना ॥ध्रु.॥
तो तूं नराचा नरेंद्र । तुजपासूनि इंद्र चंद्र ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विश्वंभर । तुज वर्णी फणीवर ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Even an insect born of food becomes human. And yet, having called Himself the servant of such beings, God does not neglect them. He does not abandon His own word. You are the King of kings among men. From You come Indra and Chandra. Says Tuka, O Lord of the Universe, even the serpent Shesha sings Your praises.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
