Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
गणेश सारजा करिती गायना । आणि देवांगना रंभे ऐशा ॥1॥
तेथें आह्मीं मानवांहीं विनवावें तें काय । सुरवर पाय वंदिति जेथें ॥ध्रु.॥
ज्याच्या गायनासी तटस्थ शंकर । त्या हि परि पार न कळे तुझा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मी किंकर ते किती । इंद्राची हि मति नागविशी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Ganesha and Saraswati sing before Him, along with divine maidens like Rambha. What can we mere mortals offer there, where the gods themselves bow at His feet? Even Shankara, who stands entranced by such singing, cannot fathom Your depths. Says Tuka, we are the humblest of servants. You bewilder even the intellect of Indra.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
