Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
कांहीं चिंता कोणा नाहीं कोणेविशीं । करी द्वारकेसि राज्य देव ॥1॥
द्वारकेसि राज्य करी नारायण । दुष्ट संहारून धर्म पाळी ॥2॥
पाळी वेदआYाा ब्राह्मणांचा मान । अतीतपूजन वैष्णवांचें॥3॥
अतीत अलिप्त अवघियां वेगळा । नाहीं हा गोपाळा अभिमान ॥4॥
अभिमान नाहीं तुका ह्मणे त्यासि । नेदी आणिकांसि धरूं देव ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
No one had any worry about anything. God ruled Dwaraka. Narayana ruled Dwaraka, having destroyed the wicked and upheld dharma. He honored the commands of the Vedas, the dignity of brahmins, and the worship of Vaishnavas and holy guests. He Himself remained detached and apart from all, yet this Cowherd-Boy held no pride. Says Tuka, He has no pride Himself, yet He does not let others cling to it either.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
