Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
न मिळो खावया न वाढो संतान । परि हा नारायण कृपा करो ॥१॥
विटंबो शरीर होत कां विपित्त । परि राहो चित्तीं नारायण ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे नासिवंत हें सकळ । आठवे गोपाळ तें चि हित ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let there be nothing to eat, let no children be born to me, so long as Narayana is merciful. Let the body be tormented, let misfortune strike, so long as Narayana remains in my heart. Says Tuka, everything in this world is perishable; to remember Gopala alone is the true good.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
