Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
गळित जाली काया । हें चि लळित पंढरिराया ॥१॥
आलें अवसानापासीं । रूप राहिलें मानसीं ॥ध्रु.॥
वाइला कळस । तेथें स्थिरावला रस ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे गोड जालें । नारायणीं पोट धालें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The body has grown frail, and this itself is the final play, O Lord of Pandhari. Life has come to its closing hour, yet your form remains settled in my heart. The pinnacle has been raised, and there the essence has become still. Says Tuka, it has all turned sweet; my belly is filled with Narayana.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
