Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
करूनी विनवणी पायीं ठेवीं माथा । परिसावी विनवणी माझी पंढरीनाथा ॥१॥
अखंडित असावेंसें वाटतें पायीं । साहोनि संकोच ठाव थोडासा देई ॥ध्रु.॥
असो नमो भाव आलों तुझिया ठाया । पाहें कृपादृष्टी मज पंढरीराया ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे आम्हीं तुझीं वेडीं वांकडीं । नामें भवपाश हातें आपुल्या तोडीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I lay my head at Your feet and beg You, Lord of Pandhari to hear my prayer. I wish to remain forever at these feet. Bear with my shortcomings and grant me even a small place. I have come to your abode with whatever devotion I possess. Look upon me with the eye of grace, O Lord of Pandhari. Says Tuka, we are your crooked, wayward ones; with your own hand, sever the noose of worldly bondage that binds us.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
