Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
रामनाम हा चि मांडिला दुकान । आहे वानोवाण घ्यारे कोणी ॥1॥
नका कोणी करूं घेता रे आळस । वांटितों तुह्मांस फुकाचें हें ॥ध्रु.॥
संचितासारिखे पडे त्याच्या हाता । फारसें मागतां तरी न ये ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मीं सांठविलें सार । उरलिया थार विचारितां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have set up a shop of Rama's Name. There are goods in plenty; come, take what you will. Let no one be lazy about taking them; I am distributing this free of charge. Each receives according to their merit; if you ask for too much, it cannot be given. Says Tuka, we have stored the essence. What remains, upon examination, is of the highest quality.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Power of the Name
The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
