Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
डोिळयांचें दैव आजि उभें ठेलें । निधान देखिलें पंढरीये ॥1॥
काय ते वानावें वाचेचे पालवें । वेदा न बोलवे रूप ज्याचें ॥ध्रु.॥
आनंदाच्या रसें ओंतीव चांगलें । देखतां रंगलें चित्त माझें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मी तों सगळाच विरालों । विठ्ठल चि जालों दर्शनानें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The fortune of my eyes has today stood before me. I have beheld the treasure of Pandhari. How can the tongue describe it, when even the Vedas cannot speak of that form? Cast in the mold of bliss, that beautiful form captured my chitta the moment I saw it. Says Tuka, I have been utterly dissolved. Through that darshan, I myself have become Vitthal.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
